Old cigar storage methods.

[Houston713]

Hey guys,

Today for whatever reason I was thinking of how people in the early 1900s or even before that, kept their cigars fresh.

I understand humidors were around during that time, but what methods were used as far as humidification?

Obviously Bovedas, Oasis machines and heartfelt beads weren't at their disposal. As a history major this got me thinking and I couldn't find much online.

Anyone have any insight?

I dunno how much this will help but I found this video of a cabinet from the 1890s a few weeks back. Interesting watch.
