Improvised a humidor

09-23-2011, 08:22 PM

I improvised a humidor this evening,

I went out and bought a glass sealable Tupperware container along with three humi packs/pouches and a few cigars.

When I got home I just soaked a humi pack with bottled water and put them back in their pouches then put it into the sealed tupperware along with the cigars.

That should do the trick yeah?

One humipak should be more than enough.

Should use distilled water, as opposed to regular bottled water.

I second that...

This should last you about a week. But at the end of that week when you outgrow it what will you do then??? Because you know you will...

Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference on bottled vs. distilled water?

mkarnold1 · 09-23-2011, 10:33 PM

Bottled water has minerals and impurities. More likely to grow bacteria.

Yup, should be good to go.

Understood,

Will keep an eye on things. Next time I'll use distilled water.
