I have had mine in a zip bag with a humi pillow since Jan. 1st because I am in the process of seasoning my new coolidor. They are fine as long as you have a humi pillow in with them
Do any of you store cigars in ziplock bags for long period of time if your humi is full? Is this a bad idea or can it be done successfully?
Before I decided to invest in a humidor, the zip lock bag was the method that worked for me. Then tupperware. But always with either a damp paper towel, or water pillows for humidity.
Currently I am using three zip lock bags, the oldest being in use for about four months. I am using 69% Boveda in one, Drimistat tube and one water pillow in one and drimistat tube and 69% boveda in the last one. No mold yet. Cigars are still great looking... I do check these once a week to let them air-out a bit and then reseal them. There is no problem in any of them. I actually am using four other bags inside my two cooleridors with a 69% boveda in each. Just started these about a month ago. I check each of my storage devices once a week to resolve any problems that may be building...but so far all is well in Gotham. (just a note, the first three zips used are not in a humidor of any type...just in an area that is not hot or problematic)
You could but you need to be really careful ...... The Cank actually did this and he ran the mini fridge ..... then went to putting it on a timer to off permanently and has had alot of problems ...... the downfall isnt so much the low temp .... usually the highest is 49 degrees .... but the amount of excess humidity the compressor causes ...... it will throw every thing out of whack if your not carefull ..... i love the coolidor pics they work so well and keep the humidity and temp perfect for me ...... i went with the retro vintage old coleman brown/woodgrain convertable cooler cause it looks pimpin ........
