I actually read a website or blog a few months back where the guy did this with all humis, except he made tupperdors with all humis inside them. He kept the humidith constant in the tupperdor with beads, humis closed up inside, and no humidification inside humis, with the condition that the humis and cigars where stabilized at 68rh before entering the tupperdors. His argument which I agree with was that humis only lose or exchange air with the respective ambient environment, so if it can only exchange air with the perfectly RH controlled tupperdor environment, well those humis will be stabilized at the same RH. The benefit to this should be obvious, No humidifiers inside the humidors, so no potential hot spots for high RH, no potential wet humidifiers to grow mold, and no worrying about smokesclose to humidifiers soaking up excess water like a wet sponge. I think this is a brilliant way to store your cigars, if you have the room and don't care that it doesn't look too snazzy. I haven't tried this by the way but I can't in the least argue with the theory behind it. If you search yahoo images for tupperdor I believe that's where I encountered this site.

I have a big humi from WaxingMoon, its about a 300ct. There is SO MUCH cedar inside this thing between the walls and trays that it gets to be a real PITA to maintain RH during the winter months in the Northeast. Several times I have thought about placing the entire humi into one of my 120qt coolers....now that I see this isnt taboo, i think I might do it.

Just no need, you can't improve already good numbers....if your temps are in check, if your RH is in check, it won't get any better....68/68 will still be 68/68....I just think there is no point is all, then again I'd never use cat liter as humification, does it work, I beiieve it does, I just wouldn't use it lol but what the hell do I know...

I am with you on this DD. It's not worth the risk to save $20-50 when I have $3,000 in sticks...easy piece of mind IMO
