Default Re: Just ordered a humidor

haha, thanks everyone for the advice and opinions. I had a good laugh as well as soaked up some useful info. I will definitely not rush it, but due to a small budget at the moment I have to deal with a small humidor. Today I also just tried a CAO L’Anniversaire Cameroon. It was decent but I havent developed a good taste for cigars yet, only my second unflavored cigar since the ACIDS

Your palette will grow in time brother. I prefer unflavored sticks. The flavored sticks to an unflavored is like smoking cloves and smoking a regular cigarette.

Welcome to the asylum. You definitly got all the advice you needed in the previous 20 posts.

I second not rushing. I second a bigger box when the time comes. I second the beads and packs. I second the Tupperware. Definitly second the digital hygrometer, the analog one that comes with it is usually crap. The only advice I could possibly add would be to find a good spot for your humi. It will take to your room. So, not too hot, not too cold. You can read all about the proper temps in the Asylum but to spare you the 43000 hours of reading and debate, 65 - 70 F should do you well.

I would probably have to keep it in the basement the house usually stays at 72-76. Also,
What exactly is a tupper-dor. I have tupperwear containers but how do I make a "tupper-dor".

Do nothing really. Just put the cigars in the Tupperware and call it a day. I've added a paper towl wet with distiller water but that may even be overboard. If you have a pack, toss it in the a digital hygrometer and just double check to see all is good.

I Have 10-15 Cigars in A 6.5 X 9 "Sterilite" Tupperware container I Bought From Walmart. I Put One 65%RH Boveda Pack In There & The RH Stays @ 65 For A Year Or More! It's Basically Air Tight, So The RH Is Maintained.

These containers (Tupperware, Rubbermaid, Sterilite, etc.) make really good travel humidors (depending upon how you are traveling) and also good temporary storage.

I wanted all my sticks in the wood humi "NOW!". Be patient, let the humi season, then add cigars. Just my

Enjoy that humi, looks like a good deal especially with the ashtray and two-tube case thrown in.
+1

Congrats on the new humi btw!

My new custom made humidor is still sitting 'seasoning'. I had no idea I could be this patient. Its been 2 weeks.

1 week of distilled water, and now 1 week of beads sitting all alone in there. I am currently waiting on a boveda calibration pack from the above-posted Mr Cheap to check my hygrometers, they are all giving me different readings. Time to know once and for all!
