Tuppordor Question

Cville Cigar · 11-24-2012, 12:22 PM

I was at Gander Mountain today and saw in the fishing tackle boxes, boxes that have a locking "O" ring around the top and are clained to be "water proof and scent proof." Could I use this for my cigars, I'd put a liner of a cigr box inside??These are a clear plastic type of material. Woul they do any thing to the flavorof the cigars?

If you're talking about the Plano Guide series, the website says they're made of polycarbonate. Don't think that has any smell. Did you sniff them?

They should be fine as a humidor.

I don't imagine it's much different than a cigar caddy.

Check the kitchen section at WalMart. There's a line Sterilite containters that are very similar, but with the clasps on all four sides instead of 3 + hinge... I have a ~15-18 stick box that cost only $4.50 (I think it's the 5.3 cup model). I keep it in my desk at work with a single 65% Boveda pack at the bottom... almost 9 months in I haven't had to replace the first Boveda pack and it's just now getting a little firm at the corners. They have much bigger all the way up to 16 cups... the 12 cup model for $16 looks like it would hold ~50 sticks.

Sounds like a fine idea, Jeffrey.

Yup, love mine and haven't any problems whatsoever with it. It actually holds humidity has fewer fluctuations than my traditional wood humidor. Just throw in a boveda or humicare gel pack and you'll be golden!

Glass Pasta jars with the rubber O-ring at the top also work great. I got an enormous one at the Christmas Tree Shop for about $4, when some sites that advertise the exact thing called a "cigar jar" sell for $10-15. It currently holds humidity perfectly. I throw all of my toro and larger sticks in there so as to not take up too much space in my other humidors.
