My first dilemma!

Marshallrocks80Marshallrocks80 Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 45
Ok so, in my enthusiasm for cigars, I've ordered more cigars than my fifty count humi can handle. I've got about thirty that I don't have room for. My question is, if I put them in wooden cigar boxes with a water pillow, will that be sufficient humidity to keep from ruining them until I can make some room in the humi a few at a time?

    Put them in a tupperware container with a good seal and water pillows or better yet Boveda Packs and this will be sufficient. Rotate them into your humi as soon as you can as this is better. The cigar boxes probably don't have the proper seal to keep them at the correct RH. Or to teach yourself a valuable lesson on irrational exuberance in cigar ordering send me the 30 sticks and I will smoke them and then taunt you with tales of how great they were ...;)

    The tupperdore will work fine unil you can get another humi...lotsa people here use them. There are so many cigar deals, specials, new blends, new brands, new cigars from old brands, games on here and so on and so forth its very easy to find yourself outta room in a short amount of time... thats why if your serious about cigars it always pays to buy the largest humidor you can possibly afford regardless of how much or little you think you'll smoke...

    I too am afraid that today's ccom order will overflow the coolerdor, which was originally overflow for my 2 humis. I've heard the first step is admitting that you have a problem. Thankfully, I don't have a problem. I'll just smoke more.

    Sir, your logic is infallible.

    That is quote worthy my friend. Also, that there is your answer Marshall...there's no need to store ashes, so get to smokin', three a day until you have space. :)

    You could just send them to me for safe keeping...... ;-)

    lol... that's the spirit. I think a few people on here were saying to leave the lids to your tuppador's on but not sealed. Allows some air to flow through.
