Good Luck

Also as a suggestion for the storage of the cigars temporarily, you can just buy a small cooler (28 quart, runs about $15.00 at wall-mart) and store them temporarily and then keep it afterwards as a second humi or travel humi
Thanks Valor...it's weird that you mention humidity. I have always been absolutely fanatical when it comes to RH. It has always been between 65-70%. A humidity problem was the first thing that went through my mind as well. I don't have any charcoal on hand, but I'm wondering if baking soda wouldn't accomplish the same thing.
