I’ve heard good reviews on those, nice haul. Now lets get it dialed in before you outgrow it, ever see Santa’s sack? Lol

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.

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
