[Ol' Times Cigars]

The humidi packs deinitely work in my opinion and thats not just because we sell them. I use them in my personal humidor and have had no problems with humidity. The amount you need depends on the size of your humidor and how many cigars you are keeping in it. You can make a plastic humidor but I would recommend finding a small cedar lined humidor if you plan on keeping a few sticks on hand. There are a lot of inexpensive small units out there that will do the job.

I don't use a zippo and don't recommend them. It depends on who you ask though. The problem with Zippos is that it isn't uncommon to taste the fuel when you light your cigar and that is not a taste I want. The fuel evaporates quickly so you have to fill them more than a butane lighter. Stick with a decent butane lighter or wood matches.
