Tuppidor-Help

So I need to make one.
Whats is the most popular one to use for storing 25-50 sticks?
How many Boveda's should I use?
Thanks.

@sofc is the expert on these things, but literally any food-safe airtight storage container will work.

For 25-50, one pack will suffice for keeping them humidified, two will do a better job pulling rh down if they go in wet.

What % pack should I use?
Thanks.

Anything between 62-69 is fine. Depends on your preference. Newer guys usually go for 69. Older guys seem to prefer 62. I use 65.

 

[bakonsammishez]

I have two of these and they work great. I prefer 65% packs.

^^^All good advice. If you want to check out some samples of what other guys have, view his thread linked below... lots of great ideas here including tupperdor setups. Make sure you post up some pics when you decide on a set up!

One of these:

2 of these:

Your hygrometer ofchoice and 2 65% large Boveda packs. I'll never go back to wood humidors. I've been using the same packs since October without a recharge yet.

@SaraCigar any recommendations?

25-50 sticks will multiply like rabbits. Get bigger than you think you need.

This. 2 65% Boveda packs. https://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Storage-Container-BPA-free-1777164/dp/B000WEMFGQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1490232309&sr=1-1&keywords=rubbermaid+40+cup
Or this. 4 65% Boveda packs https://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-19344304-Gasket-Aquarium-Latches/dp/B00KL7VPWO/ref=sr_1_15?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1490232364&sr=1-15&keywords=sterilite+storage+bins+with+lids
Cedar trays will work with the bigger one. I've had both and they work great. My Rubbermaid still has the same Boveda packs that I put in it in 2015.

You don't need to waste money on cedar trays right away or ever. Just pick up a box or two from your local cigar shop.

Those trays won't matter when you end up getting a wineador. Just get empty boxes from the local.

At what point do you upgrade to a wineador? How many do they hold?

There is no such point.

Everyone is different. Wineador is not enough for many people.

Only issue is heat. If your house/area is hot, you might need a wineador. If not, regular coolers will work just as fine or better.

 

[Mossome]

When: When Air N Water has scratch & dents in stock.
How many: all you need until you buy another one, so just go ahead and get two at the start.

Why is two enough?

We keep saying stuff like this to the new guys and they think it's a competition and they need a wineador or two or whatever.

Sistema klip it 7 liter, 2 packs of 65%, boxes or inserts from B&M, and Hygro of choice. I have the 5l and it's not big enough.

 

[Lucifer Morningstar]

The Sistema 7L holds a tray, so it's always a nice choice. As for packs Boveda say use 1 Boveda per 25 cigars in a wood humidor, even if the humidor isn’t full. Boveda will never over-humidify, so you can never use too many.
For plastic, it's substantially less. I'd still use 1 per 50, though. Just because it'd be quicker for fluctuations.

 

[BigSkySmoke]

I use these from Wal-Mart...also a couple outlet housings for Kitty litter and Boveda to help regulate it. I believe the last one I did was just under $30 out the door for everything.

These Sterilite containers work great. Got mine from Target. They have a few sizes.

So as long as I get a container with a rubber seal and use 1 Boveda 69% I should be good for up to 50 cigars?
Should I wipe the container out first with anything specific?
I dont want my cigars to take on a plastic like taste.
Thanks
