Tight sealing Tuper-dor

[raptor]

Stumbled on a Lock&Lock container today that locks down and seals just about as airtight as you will get a plastic fit. Product called Lock & Lock

This is the distributors site, I found a small one in the local supermarket and figured to give it a try. odered a tube of 65% beads from Viper last night to replace the home brew device I have now. Seals very well, now it's time for a larger one LOL....

Pretty cool what you can use for a humidor isn't?



Soon you will be buying a big ass cooler

Hy guys, inside these tuperdors do you break up old cedar cigar box's and like glue them on the inside or something, or are they just fine without it, for long term storage, or every day smoking storage?

Anytime you can add spanish cedar the better, but your cigars will be just fine without it, especially if you use some of the heartfelt industry beads. They will keep the RH consistant.

Also, I would just add the cedar without glue. If you would like to use glue, make sure to let it REALLY air out before adding cigars.

So far. I can't report on long term storage LOL, I have heard of people putting cedar blocks in, but using the beads, there shouldn't be any reason to have to line the conatiner with cedar, since the beads should keep the humidity levels stabilised. Now if you like the smell of cedar...

Yeah, I agree. Most plastic containers seal so tightly that additional RH buffering from cedar is unnecessary. If it's the aesthetic of the look or fragrance you like, then that's one thing, but there's no pragmatic reason to use it, especially if you have beads.
