Would you mind posting where you got it or a link by chance? No worries if you don't.

Absolutely. Everything came from Amazon. The humidor is an Audew 300 count model I got lucky and bought it when it had an instant $40 coupon but it’s normally 250. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201204/10a1d33d580b4d2e2452851be9a7658b.jpg

DO NOT USE THAT CEDAR. That is red cedar, not Spanish cedar. Huge difference. Not even the same species. That wood will ruin your cigars and make them smell like a wood chip pile.

Not to be too blunt, but even the addition of Spanish cedar is pretty useless in a tupper. It's historically been used for humidors because it retains moisture well. But when you have a Boveda in an airtight container, there's really no reason to use them. I don't buy that it "ages" cigars better. A controlled environment is the only thing that will do that. THe most important thing is to make sure that tupper gets filled up quick. You can use empty milk jugs or other tupperware to take up space until you have it at least 75% full. That will mean less air to humidify and less of a shock when you open it up.

I’m really glad you said something. When I smelled them, I noticed the odor was way too strong. I purposely didn’t fill the tupp because I wanted to do a little more research on it so thank you for confirming a suspicion.

I deleted that part of the post just in case someone comes along and doesn’t see your post underneath.

Honest mistake that's happened a million times, no doubt. But congrats on the cooler. That thing is sweet.

Spanish Cedar is actually a mahogany from South America

If you want to use Spanish Cedar, actually a mahogany, like @AlanS (https://www.cigarbum.com/forum/members/alans.html) said, for that traditional humidor aroma when you open the tupperidor, throw in some broken up cigar boxes. A lot of B&Ms have them available for little to no cost.

Very nice grab!! You should get a lot use from that.

That is a purty box. Any idea of how long an Arbys sammich would stay good in that?

In here? I’d say a Beef and Ched is as safe and sound as a Twinkie in a fallout bunker, my friend.

A beef n cheddar actually sounds really good right now. Tho if it was named honestly, I'd call it a 'Chopped, Pressed and Formed Mystery Meat and Cheddar Flavored Processed Cheese Food'... Hmm, doesn't have the same ring to it.

I haven't been to an Arby's in at least 5 years. Got food poisoning from Arby's once. The place hasn't struck a chord with me ever since.
