Question about tupperdors and a humidor

Magnaflux777 said:
Thank you for the suggestion on what i have currently. So far all these seem to be holding humidity really well. The inkbird hygrometers are pretty decent units and function well. I will say it seems easier to keep bundles together like this and between WalMart and Target the needed tupperdor can be found to hold different amounts of cigars. The Vevor is a really nice unit and I almost went ahead and bought it but then i thought about what good it would do over what i have that seems to be working very well. I will it some thought but will most likely end up using that money to buy more cigars. I got into collecting a few Cuban and non-Cuban cigars about 2 years ago and never thought I would end up like this. I hope im not the only one when passing by their collection sometimes stops and looks at them and maybe even smells a vitola or 2? Just like I did 15 minutes before. Ah Christ i guess its hopeless at this point im highly addicted and need cigar rehab even thought I feel it a moot point.

Cigar rehab. Yes, let's go ahead and torch a few and talk about it.

@Magnaflux777 I absolutely love your set-up! It's better than mine so thanks for making me want to start over!:) I like it because you know everything at a glance.

I think we all went through humidors at some point, and as Tom @BlindedByScience said they seldom hold what they advertise. As you pointed out, consistent temp and RH are the key and as long as the area of your home is suitable, you have the cat's meow!

I will offer this for the simple reason that it "might" be more space efficient. However, you will lose your incredible categorization system. On the other hand, one of my simple pleasures in life is pulling up a chair and sitting in front of these and debating what to smoke/gift.

I bought these 150 quart marine coolers at Walmart for about $60 each, they are probably double that now. I found that these marine coolers had no smell. I bought 10 pounds of plain silica beads and programmed them myself using a Tupperware bin and a Cigar Oasis. These beads have worked well for 15 years.

I built cedar shelves inside the coolers and a shelving unit that mounts securely to the wall, I then installed cables to hold the lids level while I peruse. I can quickly see nearly every box I have, some boxes are stacked on each other, some are on their side and stored like books on a bookshelf. I have a unit in each cooler that transmits data to a master unit which sits on my desk. After a number of years I lost that awesome crisp/clean cedar smell and a few great brothers here informed me of the benefits of colloidal silver which fixed the issue.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do!

ETA: Like Chad @CBoukal said, there is merit to keeping cigars in their own boxes.

That's phenomenal! Well done. I don't think my wife would let me hang coolers on the wall though, but I love it 😁

I can only offer a couple of humble suggestions. :cool:

Tell your wife it's art and looks equally as good as some of the things she has hung on the wall.
