It's where I bought both of my humidors for CHEAP!

dinoa, you sound like me when i started with my first humidor, ahh, ill just get a small 50 count, i wont need anything bigger. then i got a 100 count, no way ill need bigger, another 50 and now im looking for the biggest cooler i can find lol.

Amen, I have 6 humi's now, and I realize that I must bite the bullet and get a giant.

If only I had bought a monster to start....

(It's a hassle to worry about RH levels in multiple humidors.)

I would think that it does...but I personally have never had a glass top humidor, and I would also think however, if the seal is good and the humidor is away from sunlight, it should be fine....

I don't know why I never cared for the glass top humidors....

Can you put them in a ziplock or a tuperware container

If you have a spare coller that would work too. Just clean it out real good and make sure the seal is nice and tight. You can always make it tighter with a little bit of duct tape. Worked great for me.

I have two glass tops and two...non-glass tops??. I find they both hold RH well and keep tempature the same. I would keep any humi out of the sun, glass top or not.

What kind of Fuentes?

Do a McGyuver...

Take
1 Large Tupperware container
1 Juice glass half filled with distilled water

Add
1 Box Fuente 8-5-8 Maduro

Get
A temp solution till you get yourself a Humidor.

As BP would say,
You can always send them to me and I'll keep um fresh....only a few will get smoked :wink:

I don't know if I would have a glass of water anywhere nead a box of cigars. The chances of spilling the water is too great! If you need proof, I can show you what 1/4 gallon of water did to a full box of 1995 Dunhill Corona's.....

I guess it might not be the best idea if you live in earthquake country......

Ouch!

If it has the little humipak thing it should be fine inside a big ziploc. Those are the same as a Boveda pack and should handle a few weeks no problem IMO. Use a freezer bag though if you go that route. Regular plastic bags are moisture permeable to a much greater extent.

My soon to be father in law told me that he saw humidor bags. $5-$7 or so and they hold about 20 cigars. apparently they are just industrial ziplock style bags.

Can't get the thing to stay above 54%

I am having the hardest time keeping my new humi up around 70%

I have wiped the inside of the humi with distilled water on two days.
it stays at 70 for about a day then drifts back down to 59-54% any suggestions?[/img]

sounds like you have a seal problem. try the flashlight test.

or the really big zip lock bag test.

the flashlight test goes as follows. put a lit flashlight inside and close the lid. (if it isnt a glass top) take it into dark room and look for light. if you see some then air is getting in or out.


the really big zip loc test: put the entire humidor in a zip lock bag or some other air tight bag. Place a hygromiter inside and outside your humidor. (both in the bag) Hydrate your creedo/beads/whatever you are using to humidify. THe hygromiter on the inside should go up the one on the outside of the box should stay the same. if after a few days they both go up and balance out then there is a problem with the seal.

What kind of hygro are you using?

Is it salt tested?

Thanks alot I will give it a try. . .I may be just impatient
