alternate storage methods?

[Titus13]

I was curious about other storage methods you cigar affiendos use
I heard a few people use rubbermaid containers and ziplock bags

[ssutton219]

I use a cooler.

Have used Tupperware and a Dorm Fridge (Wasnt plugged in very much)




There are a ton of different ideas!


as long as it hold Humidity and doesnt impart flavors to the cigar it works..

This is the bulk method of choice by most. (without the fish of course)

To add to coolers, ziplocks, tupperwares, I've also seen seal-top jars and room humidors before.

Another option used by many is a wine cooler, the advantage over a cooler is your able to regulate the temperature, the drawback is they cost a little more. search Vinotemp you should find a lot of info.

i was supposed to take the fish and ice out first????? sh******t

ok back to topic.... people will use many different things... there are hundreds of informative posts on this site... use the search function it helps greatly... rule of thumb #1- bigger is better! u will be shocked at how quickly your collection will multiply... always buy something at least 2x larger than u think u need... trust me its a slippery slope... the reason alot of guys favor cooleadors is that they hold tons of smokes are easy to maintain and are cheap so if u have to get another one, its not as big of an investment as a brand new humidor... good luck and welcome to the dark side... its fun

Coolers as mentioned gives you more space so you can buy more cigars

Ive been storing my overflow stock in a 5x5x10" piece of tupperware. Got a few thin spanish cedar sheets from the local cigar store and threw them in there with half a shotglass full of heartfert 65% beads.

Has been holding a solid 68-69% humidity for a couple weeks now.

The easiest (to setup and maintain), cheapest, LONG TERM solution is a cooler. All you need to do is go buy a BIG one, wipe it out with soap and water, get some beads, fill it with cigars/cigar boxes/digital hygro, and you're all set for years of enjoyment.

Amen to this. If you don't care about "pretty" humidors and just want a place to store your smokes you can't do any better than this. Get a HUGE cooler and you are set.

I started with a good size tupperware and quickly filled it up. bdw1984 is correct. Get one that you think will never fill up. I moved to a cooler for this fact. Because it will fill up!
