Quotebstessl - 3/24/2014 10:58 PMIt does the job, will probably be filled in no time... As will yours I guess :shades: I've bought some glass jars (http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=3912) that I am going to try out next.
looks like yours is working out well!

That's how it's done. I have 21 Tupperadors

Looks great, but don't they fill up fast!
Quotebstessl - 3/25/2014 7:37 AMDid you season it? I put a shot glass of distilled water in mine for a few days, to season the cedar. When I had around 70% RH I removed the shot glass and let it stabilize with the humidification device. When the humidity was stable at my target value I put in the sticks.
Gee.. I hope its because the box's are dry, but Im reading 35% in there right now...
Quotebstessl - 3/25/2014 8:09 AMI think I'd put in a shallow dish of distilled water as well, to speed up the process. Then when the humidity is high enough remove it, and let it stabilize.
I just put the boxes in today with the dish of crystals and 50/50 and a boveda, I figured it would take a bit to season, thats just after 11/12 hours
Quotebstessl - 4/2/2014 12:01 PMWhat level are you targeting? I would let it rise a bit over that, then remove the distilled water and let it stabilize. Once it's stable, add your cigars in batches; so you don't throw off the humidity. Once it has "recovered"; next batch :-)
Well, I am up to 67% now. Should I wait and see if it levels out before I start using it? It has been climbing about 2% a day.
Quotebstessl - 4/2/2014 12:15 PMWhat you want is the cedar boxes to be saturated, so that they no longer absorbs moisture. If 65-67% is your target and you have 67% now I would leave the DW in for longer, let it reach 70%. It's better to leave in too long, than to remove it prematurely.
I'm thinking around 65/67% would be good. I guess I will take the DW out and see what happens.

Yeah, that looks awesome. Did the humidity stay stable after you got the sticks in? It might dip or spike a bit before stabilizing, depending on the humidity levels in the sticks.

Once I started using Tupperware I never looked back. The process of setting them up is so easy that I stopped using regular humis. I use a good brand name tupperware product ( RubberMaid ) that is 2.5 gallon size...it will hold up to 200 cigars (toro size) and I line the bottom with cedar sheets and use KL as my hygro media...takes one day to dial in the RH I want ( 65%) and the rest is history. The tupperware is stackable and I have most of them in one of my closets in a spare room.

[/QUOTE]QuoteCigary - 4/5/2014 7:08 PMI think I might be heading in that direction as well... I used to worry about the cost involved in getting enough humidor space, until I discovered the tupperdors. And I see multiple other benefits as well; I can keep different storing conditions, in the case of a beetle outbreak (God forbid!) the stick affected is limited.

I think once I buy a house and get my lounge going I'm just putting in cabinets to store the tupperdors.

That photo idea is so awesome I think I got a cigarboner! I'm gonna do that in my spare bedroom. I can just hear my wife already....WTF is this crap on the wall....( my answer....Cigar Art....now go buy some more shoes )
