General cigar questions

[Brimy]

If I only have a few cigars on hand at a time could I just use a cigar box with a good seal and a boveda packet?

You could, but in all honesty I don't think a cigar box seals good enough.
A decent sized piece of Tupperware (any sealing bowl, doesn't have to be actual Tupperware) will cost you a couple of $.

Maybe if you keep the box in a zip lock bag, to keep the humidity in.

I'm with Brian. Most boxes don't deal that well on their own.

No problem, then I'll stick with the Tupperware solution for the time being. I just figured since I had the box and it seemed to make a decent seal I would ask what you guys thought!

Just make sure the Tupperware has a rubber seal. Some don't have a rubber seal, which is fine for food in a fridge, but you want a rubber seal.

I started out with some OXO containers (and still use 'em for the cigars I store at a different RH than in my humidor). You might have some in your kitchen.

Sorry Cameron, I have to disagree!
I use the Glad Lok containers & haven't had to change to Boveda packs in them yet (about a year)!
And when I open them, I get the sweetest "aroma of cigar" ever!

I'll snap a pic when I get home.

Any good tupperware style container will do. Just not the cheap, flimsy ones that come in packs of 20, or whatever quantity they come in at walmart these days.

You could always put the cigar box inside the tupperware

LOL
Still inexpensive!
