I went with several people's recommendation to by a Tupperdore instead of another small humidor as I outgrew my other one. Maybe at Christmas or next year I'll buy a bigger humi or wineador. But anyways....
Is there anything I need to do to the Tupperware to make sure the plastic doesn't leech its smell to my sticks? I washed it out thoroughly with dish soap and most of the new plastic smell went away, but there is a tiny amount of lingering plastic smell left. One of my local B&Ms sells cigar boxes for like 3 for 5 or something. I was going to buy a several of the wooden or bamboo ones to use as makeshift trays (I bought the biggest Tupperware container I could; it's pretty big). Depending on sizing, I may need to remove the lids. Of course they all have the cedar lining.
So here is the grit of my question(s).
-What should I do about the lingering plastic smell; though very faint?
-Will it damage my cigars?
-Should I try to line the entire inside with cedar or will the cedar in the boxes be sufficient?
-Can you age in Tupperware or should I put some of my favorite smokes in a humidor to age? I buy a lot of 5-packs as my tastes are all over the place; normally I smoke 2, share 1 with a buddy, and then put 2 back to age (hence running out of room in my humidor).
