    I'll be ordering a cube of 65% Bovedas from my local B&M. If you can wait a week or two, I'll just mail you one.

    Bovedas are pretty cheap and they ship fast... also, if you put an item in your cart on their website, start to check out, and then leave the page, in a few hours you should get an email about how sad your abandoned cart must be, and they'll offer you free shipping (you obviously have to have an account for this to work). Makes them cheaper than you'll find at B&Ms and eliminates any need to wait to combine orders.

    Thanks for this. I am going to try that on my next order. Shipping on my last cube was $7.36, which I thought was a bit high.

    Actually my B&M is very reasonable on Bovedas. In fact with shipping they're cheaper.

    Thanks Zeede, but I'll be ordering around that time and don't even know that if have the need anyhow. It's just a want to know in case I'm in a position kind of thing. With sticks possibly taking a week through the mail they seem OK to me ROTT, but then I don't know much yet, which is by I like to ask questions. It's the best way to find out before it's too late.

    A simple ziplock will work for a week if that's all that's needed. Those jars would probably work too. Just make sure if you use something that was previously in use it is clean.

    I'm still curious on an approximate time frame that cigars would last in a sealed container. It's not something to be read into, but just a question. I seek answers however unimportant or irrelevant.

    It depends entirely on how full of cigars the container is. Cigars act almost like humidity sponges themselves, so for example, if you filled a jar with them and sealed it, they'd self-maintain the humidity pretty well themselves.

    I'm going to order the 12-pack of Bovedas, so if you do find you need/want one down the road, just let me know

    Along with the size of container and number of cigars, it would also depend on just how sealed the container is and what the ambient rH is. I doubt anyone can give you anything more than a really rough educated guess.

    My guess is that it would take on the order of months to do irreparable damage to the cigars, especially if you have a decently sealed container. They might need a bit of time to bright the rH up in them if they've been like that for a while, but a week or two probably won't make a big difference in their moisture content.

    I will have been hit three times now in succession and the thought occurred to me that I could be overrun by invading forces and wanted to know how long I could keep captives. I'm not in serious danger at the moment, but one never knows.
