    I have one that dbeckom (Dwayne) gave me, and it works great. I keep all of my 72% RH sticks in it, and it is very easy to control the RH in. Mine sits on my desk, so I don't worry about sunlight creeping in, but I wouldn't think it would be an issue indoors.

    Be sure to burp it regularly, as the one I have was a major mold factory at one time. Had to toss quite a few sticks (albeit, cheap, yard gars) as a result of this thing. I think the seal is just way too tight.

    I tend to check out my cigars at least once a day. Probably not too great for RH but I am in constant fear of mold and the ever dreaded tobacco beetle.

    +1 on the major mold factory. I had just a few empty cigar tubes in mine and had it sealed and later I noticed what seemed to be an invasion of the colorful fluffy stuff. I took the rubber seal off of the lid when I had gars in it.

    I have 2 and use them for my over flow.  I've never had a problem.  i do burp them at the least every other day and i refill the round humis at the same time as needed.  no problems with mold yet. Big Smile [:D] my c.com humi holds 25 so i use that as a primary.  I have yet to put more then 15 in either of them.

    I use one and have had good success with it. I use it to store the smokes I'm going to use in the next few weeks and to travel with. I use the round humi it comes with and have had no problems. But, humidity in my area is generally not over 40%........ever.

    This. I would think your concerns and considerations for this kind of storage would be similar to that of a coolidor or tupperdor, so let some fresh air in on a weekly basis or so.
