Bit of a nube question but I have this

http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewcigar.asp?prod=SP-GHASST25

Will it be ok to keep the cigars in this box? It seems to have an ok seal, I’ve taken 2 of them out to make room for a water pillow and I’ve nicked my mini hygrometer from my secondary humidor which is reading a constant 67% rh, but it’s right next to the water pillow. There doesn’t seem to be much empty space in the box so I was just wondering if you think the humidity will be constant throughout or not.

My first purchase that came with a box, and it’s such a nice box I don’t want to not use it.

Thanks in advance for any help

A humidor is nothing more than a box that can maintain the proper humidity - people use tupperware and it works perfectly (though an airtight container isn't ideal, so those people typically need to open the tupperware every so often). So long as you can maintain the seal/proper RH while allowing some airflow, any container will work

Im sure that short term this will be fine, but I didnt see that this is a humidor, so long term, you are going to get them into a humidor. If you find that this things keeps your RH where you want it over a long period of time, why worry.
