Overflow

[rodwha]

My tupperdor may hold ~30 sticks or so. If I were to max that out and put the overflow (ones I've had for a while) in something like a parador how long would they hold out for if the starting RH was somewhere between 67-72? I have a Drimistat with Xikar 70% fluid for now (will be buying a Boveda 65% pack with next order).

I also have a 5 stick herfador that I'll need to read up on again as I know the sponge in the center is the humidification device, though I'm not sure if my brewing water is reverse osmosis or distilled as I use whatever I find.

I don't know what a parador is, but another OXO or Tupperware container should not cost very much. In the event you stop using it to store cigars you can always use it in the kitchen.

This way you don't have to worry if the sticks end up staying in the overflow container longer than originally intended.

Dadgum auto correct! I meant jarador.

I have a couple of Tupperware containers I kept that held lunch meats that I could also use. I figured those jars with the latching lid and gasket were superior.

Here's my tupperdor:




And then I have these:




But without humidification how long would they last?

The jars will work, just grab some extra boveda you can stick in there as well.

[rodwha]

I won't have any until I order again. For now I'm dealing with the one Drimistat and Xikar 70% fluid.

Were I overflowed by just a handful I'd set them in the herfador and not worry much over a stick or two as I'm thinking they'd be fine for a week.

I'm mostly curious, but also knowing that I'm close to full with a package on the way.

[Zeede]

You can't just go buy a Boveda?

[rodwha]

I'd assume that the liquor store may have them as they do sell cigars, but I've not looked.

Having read that it takes about a week to adjust the RH of a stick that it may well last long enough as is but wanted confirmation.

If I find myself overstocked here soon Id doubt it would be by many, and that I figure I could deal with within a week. It's more just out of curiousity.

[rodwha]

Oh, I'm in a very small little town. There is no B&M near me.

[TreySC]

They should be fine in something airtight for a week. If you can't get boveda sooner, I'd get a bigger piece of tupperware and keep them all with some kind of humidification device.

You can get boveda for a good price from amazon also.
