Have gone to the medium size Bovida bags after wrestling with 3 wood humidors for over 20 years. I drop a 60 gram 69% Bovida pack into the bags, add a thin slice of cedar that comes in many of the boxes of cigars, and put the bag into one of my nice wood humidors. No worries at all about humidification. Plus I still have the fine, solid wood boxes on my shelves. One of those wooden ones once held 100 cigars! It even has 3 drawers built in for accessories. I'm not throwing that puppy away! Another has a leaky glass top. Full Bovida bag goes under the shelf. Maybe 10 cigars on the shelf that I'll smoke in 3-4 days, a 60gram Bovida bag beside them. Third one has a beautiful inlaid wooden top. Bovida bags on and under the shelf. This one's for aging. Job done.

[@gabeguzman2130]

I was gifted a Newair 200 counted several years ago from a bud moving out of state. Love it! Keep it at 72 (California guy here). Rotate the shelves evert now and then. Zero issues. My now cigar converted nephew goes the acrylic route. His sticks smoke great! If it works for you then go for it. Just enjoy your smokes.

[@bolivarfan]

When I first started smoking cigars in the late 90s, I bought a "fancy" humidor from The Thompson Cigar Company. I used an Oasis humidifier and thought they were the greatest things in the world! Now, almost 30 years later, my primary cigar storage is all in Tupperware with Boveda bags. I even use one of their One Year bags as an additional humidor. I'm glad I found your channel. You have excellent content.

I'm about to buy the acrylic humidor from cigars daily. DO I NEED TO BUY A HYGROMETER AND BOVIDA PACK?

[@rangerhsschoolofbushcrafta4063]

My current go-to a a half gallon wide mouth mason jar with bóveda pack. No funny smell, great seal, easy to see what you’ve got left, and it’s a fairly inexpensive and compact way for me to store my cigars. I live in a camper trailer in Florida so I don’t have a lot of space and I don’t need to fight to keep humidity in. Camper AC keeps it nice a cool inside which make temp easy and I keep separate jars for different types of cigar ie; infused, non-infused, maduro, Connecticut, etc. I’ll usually rotate out a few cigars in my vehicle which I keep in a ziplock but they don’t last long before I enjoy them and I’ll also keep several dry cured cigars in my vehicle for longer term which works out great. Thanks for the great content Tim! Keep it up! 😁👍

[@robertevras6577]

I think the most important question is... Are you aging your cigars in your Humidore, or are you just smoking as you buy? Do you need the room to allow some higher quality stix to age & develop ploom, or do you just need to store 20 stix for basic level use? I have a 500 stick, 4 level in Spanish Cedar.....love it ! It came from Dad, & will go to my son someday...;) I enjoy the rituals of watering my humidor checking the quality & progress the of aging, & rotating for use...:) I have taken high end stix, & average stix, & allowed them to marinade together for 5-6 years. I like the small temp changes of the seasons for that reason. It seems to work like Bourbon. Temp variation, ( 65°-75° seems to work well) pluss time, pluss proper humidity, seems to make average smokes much better...;) I know the hard core guys will say that a tight range of 68°- 70° is the maximum but I have experienced different. Too warm can cause mold/rot, & to cold for too long slows aging.....it's got to be tweeked...I enjoy playing with it & ITS FUN!

[@Pipers.Hideaway.]

If you are going to use a wood humidor expensive or not I highly recommend using the Boveda humidor starter kit. They are at 84% I think and follow the steps. Helps hydrate the wood and since then I haven't had a problem with my cheaper wood humidor and that's even in super dry Colorado. Great video Tim. Cigars Daily Rocks!!!

[@imnotbenavery9220]

My only problem with that kit is they give 72% packs for after the two weeks at 84% which I’m finding is on the higher side. I’d buy 69% and 84% separately next time since the 72% ones won’t be getting used.

[@davidwhitton9050]

Started with a boveda bad, moved onto a classy looking glass topped box, I was lucky it as it hardly leaked, then as my collection grew I started using Tupperware finally ended up with a 450 capacity thermoelectric humidor which I think is a great value solution. If you go for a thermoelectric solution wipe down the interior with a distilled water baking powder solution to help remove any odor wipe clean with distilled water, allow to dry then leave a bowl containing baking powder in the sealed humidor for 2 days it should remove odor. Only problem I have now is I am running out of storage space again.

[@frankmorris7003]

I'm definitely going to the acrylic jar & boveda bag route first to start off my cigar reserve then once my cigar reserve is a decent size then I'll step thermo-electric. Also thanks for helpful information Mr.whitton..

[@PeanutButterSandwich01]

With your collection what’s the shelf life? I smoke on the occasion but want a variety, just not sure how long they’ll last (assuming all the right conditions)

[@andrewkarsten5268]

@@PeanutButterSandwich01if you keep your cigars consistently at the correct humidity and temperature, your cigars should last as long as you like. They’re like wine, the longer you age them the better they get (usually). I’ve smoked sticks that were older than myself that were aged by the company itself, the shop carrying them, or both, and those have been the best I’ve ever had. Overall, if you keep your sticks in spec, you’ll be good. You the only issues to really worry about with keeping sticks for a while is mold or tobacco beetles. I haven’t had an issue yet, thankfully, but sometimes that can happen and you’ll need to “quarantine” those sticks. By the way, a small amount of mold on a cigar is typically ok and can be scraped off before smoking. If you look into it on google or something you’ll find plenty of articles explaining mold on cigars much better than I could in this comment. Cheers!

I started with a small desk top "wood" humidor and as my collection grew, I added an acrylic one, similar to the one shown in the video. I now use a 300 count glass top cedar lined unit that I bought from a member of my club. I use two humidifiers and it seems to hold the humidity arriving 60%, with 150 sticks.

I started with a 25 cigar wood humidor from Amazon, decent performance for the price. As my collection got bigger I need it more space. I remember watching Tim’s video with Rob from Boveda, and the Acrylic humidor idea. Next day I’m on Home Goods buying 11 inch tall Acrylic jars for $8, got 3 of them , a $16 4pack 69% Boveda packs from Amazon, 3 digital hygrometers for $15 also Amazon and $8 of cedar lining also from Amazon. Each jar can hold 20 cigars comfortably giving me 60 count humidor with digital hygrometers for $40 you can’t beat that. And yes it works like a charm for about 4 to 6 months. Next thing is one of those thermoelectric humidors for sure.

[@nco_gets_it]

I have a glass jar humidor I keep on my desk to keep a few sticks at hand, but a book shelf full of "tupperware" containers with the rest. The great thing about that method is that as I use cigars and buy cigars I can "rotate" so that everything gets some time on the shelf. total cost: about 60 bucks in containers and an 80 dollar book shelf to keep cigars. It also allows me to keep different brands/varieties separate and adjust humidity for various cigars rather than having one humidity for all cigars. This started with a board on a couple of blocks and about 20 dollars worth of sealed containers. Pro tip: if you choose to do this, label the containers with what is in them and when you last checked them...that way you don't end up with that one container of 1 minute cigars ;)

[@digitalpapa2]

The Audew Cigar Cooler works really well for me. I did battle with the smell issue that Tim mentioned for the first few months of use. But now the smell is gone and I love it. I installed motion sensor LED light bars purchased from Amazon because the built in single LED light at the top was basically useless. When I slide out a tray it lights up my cigars nicely.

@@chrisvozzo6798 those are good smokes for beginners but as you develop your pallet and discover your preferences over the years, I'd advise against that brand. Most of the non Cuban big name brand cigars are over priced sub par cigars (Cohiba being the worst offender imo). My Father and Perez Carrillo make vastly superior sticks (imo) that are often the same price, if not cheaper. More expensive doesn't always mean better. The most important thing to do when exploring the world of premium cigars is to keep an open mind tho, there are so many different brands & sticks. I've been smoking for 10+ years and I never stick to one brand or one stick. Yeah I have my preferences but trying new brands and blends and discovering new favorites is the best part of smoking imo

I live in East cost where the winters are long and summers are hot. Very tough to maintain a perfect temperature and humidity level using wood humidors unless you have a home with indoor year around temperature control. I have found a perfect way to maintain constant humidity for cigar, Acrelyc humidors and Tupperwares, they provide you with perfect seal, you just have to find the perfect spot in your home where the temperature is desirable for cigars. Keep them away from the sunlight. I also have a fridge but I have found that in winter time when the indoor humidity is kind of low (radiators are very hot), it is difficult to maintain a constant humidity level inside the fridge-humidor, have to be checked every 3-4days. (Seal in the fridge is good). I am very happy with my acrelyc and tupperware humidors, they are perfect for traveling as well.

I bought a small wood humidor from my cigar shop for like $60 and it worked great. Held about 10-15 smokes and to this day, without any boveda packs or cigars is still holding its humidity. For reference, I moved all of them to my new humidor a year ago. I upgraded and got a bigger wood humidor that can hold about 100 sticks. Also great and from the same store for like $160. I’ve been happy. It’s probably particle board underneath but I don’t care. It’s a glass top, which you need to be careful with when buying. The reason for that is because sometimes they don’t have a proper seal where the glass is. My favorite thing about these humidors was that the hydrometers were displayed so you can see them without opening the box. This makes it much easier to keep track of how your sticks are doing. Overall, I’d say if you have someone at your local shop you trust, talk to them. They’ll probably have a good suggestion based on your specific situation and may even have something in stock. I’ve also heard to be wary of buying humidors online. They can be damaged in shipping and it’s hard to tell the quality over a computer screen.

It makes transport easy as the hard case keeps the cigars from getting crushed and the seal is perfect. Once I start to collect larger amounts of cigars I think I’m gonna go for the thermo electric humidor.

[@juasmith1]

When I first started smoking cigars I used a clear plastic bin with an air tight lid and a small boveda pack. I eventually added a cheap hygrometer to the lid. The boveda lasts forever in the air tight bin. I'm cheap, and this has always worked, so I'm still using this set up.

I use acrylic for most of my cigars, but when I outgrew the three I have I got some of the brilliance tupperdores for my overflow. Both work extremely well and I can’t tell a difference between the two.

[@ramonosuke]

Right now I have two wooden humidors - a 20 and 40 count respectively. I use the 20 count occasionally for when I dry box. Also have two acrylics that hold about 20-25 with boveda packs.

I have NewAir 840 (love it) and my wife just bought me a NewAir 250 for Christmas, watch I'm still seasoning.

[@awildlife4all]

New Air 250 is great. I keep my cigars comfortable year round.

[@addison1439]

I used an ammo can I lined with cedar. Works great.

i Have a Cohiba Maduro 5 25 Genios Humidor, works perfectly and looks amazing

[@alexanderbryant7666]

I guess just to throw my 2 cents in. I have 2 wooden box humidors. I maintain them, check them often, and after a while you just get a feel for it. You know how long you have in between checking it, recharging it, and so on, or you set a reminder in your phone for every 2 months or whatever. But, having said that, I've set up 4 new smokers in my life. Each one I've gotten a nice piece of Tupperware for, and they've worked for years. Only one of those guys went up to a wooden box, which he had to throw out because it had a glass lid that lost its seal. Then he bought one without glass and has been fine since, but still, it sucked to waste that money. Tupperdors are fine, great even, and if you put bands all over it, paint it, sticker it up, you can make it look however. Main thing is, if cigars become a hobby, you can very cheaply buy a bigger size. That is such a good advantage.

Started with a desktop humidor, then the overflow would be in some acrylic jars i had. Then as it grew i switched to rubbermaid briliance and a sistema. Then ended up adding some 19Q and 12Q EZ Storage from target once i got to about 800+ cigars. have em in there layered with cedar sheets and 65% bovedas

[@lamarrboudreaux2082]

I got the acrylic joint right now. My boy just gifted me a wood one. And honestly it just adds to the aesthetic of my little bar/cigar area.

[@jonathanwright1761]

I rock the Whynbrand 250 count refrigerated. I never have it plugged in. I just keep bovida in there and let it do its thing. They cost close to 1000 but i got it used on Amazon for 250 bucks. Cant be beat

[@alexgarza888]

My daughters got me the renzo glass top by case elegance with digital hygrometer since I've recently been getting into cigars. It's been great with no issues.

[@sanssin344]

1.if you want something that looks nice use a desktop for small storage or a cabinet for large storage. 2. if its just storage and temp isn't an issue use rubbermaid or jar for small storage or a cooler for larger storage 3. if temp is an issue then a thermal electric humidor is your only option 4. short term storage use a humidor bag or a travel case

Wife got me needone 16L for Father’s Day and I love it

[@jimschemeley5428]

Drew estate m81 blackened are what I'm currently smoking... pretty descent

[@TheMcneill93]

I have a big 5L mason jar on my desk, a 69% bovida pack and a bunch of cigars in there. Works fine for me

[@brite_luddite]

For stuff I'm aging or not getting to right away, I'm all about the tupperdore that holds 300 or so cigars in their own boxes. I have a 25 count humidor for stuff I'm going to get to shortly. It's a versatile setup for me.

[@jasoncollson2878]

I use Rubbermaid Brilliance with Cedar sheets on the bottom and Bovada packs. Never had an issue

[@helikos1]

Started to get into the hobby about 5 months ago when I bought the necessary equipment to create a tupperdor. Airtight durable pyrex container, boveda packs and a humidity/temperature read out. Once I've got my own place I'll splash for a proper wooden humidor.

[@WarThug13]

My Newair humidor is one of those mini-fridge types and came with the plastic smell. I just wiped the inside down with a new sponge with dish soap and water and then with a clean wet rag to get the soap out. Then left it open to dry out for a few days. After that the smell was gone and never came back.

[@rubioben000]

Rubbermaid brilliance with the locking sides. Throw in some 69% boveda packs and I’ve found this works for me. Just starting out so it’s all I got for now.

[@PilotDiggerdavid]

Never say never because it will come back to bite you! I still use my wood,cedar lined with glass top! Just works for me on the east coast!

[@diamondrmp]

I have two Newair humidors. One is the 250 count size the other is the 500 count. These are the ones that not only cool but heat also. Something to note is that their cooling and heating is limited. If the room is 85 degrees it won't cool to 70. If the room is 55 degrees it won't heat to 70. The room needs to be within 5 to 8 degrees of your set temp. Saying that these things are great. When I received mine there was no smell except the smell of the Spanish cedar shelves. I've had mine for a few years and love them. I just went on their web site and they don't carry the 500 count any longer.

[@ReggyRay289]

I started with a Tupperware one, then my buddy gifted me a wood with glass top, I liked it but it didn't hold consistent humidity so I used a food grade clear silicone and caulked all the seams which sealed it right up. I've recently bought a couple more Tupperware ones as I have a couple shops and a cabin that I want to have cigars at so I don't always have to remember to grab cigars from home
