Rubbermaid plastic container ok with Boveda 69?

Nicadust69 · 01-25-2017, 04:59 PM

I'm waiting to season a humidor and currently have my cigars in Rubbermaid containers with 69 rh Boveda packs, is this ok for storage? Don't want to ruin my sticks, any info would be greatly appreciated!

The containers have snap like closures on the sides, the containers have a rubber seal around the entire perimeter, they claim to be completely leak proof???

I have been using one for several years now and it works fantastic.
A lot less upkeep than a humidor if your not worried about looks.

I use lots of those. Perfect for storage and aging. I do find that a minute or so of airing out each month is wise. Once in a great while some younger cigars get a little funky smelling as they age.

Should work fine. Hell, should work better than a humidor.

Yes you can leave them in there indefinitely and they will be fine.

Maybe i shouldn't even use the humidor, seems they are frustrating more than anything!
