my homemade humidor

09-13-2011, 08:21 PM

Its some Tupperware, a hygrometer and a 69 degree humidity boveda pack. Spent a total of $12-$15 on it. That's including everything except the cigars of course. Im really happy with how it came out but I wanna hear what u guys think? Also are there any cool cigar stickers or maybe even a wood finish stick I could put around the whole thing so it looks like a sodden box, just leave a little window so I can see my hygrometer reading. You know like the vinyl stickers they put on cars, phones, just about wventhing now. Is there a place u can get 1 in wood finish and cut to size that wont look like crap after done? Or u think it'll look better the way it is clear? Any input helps. Thanks in advance. I hope u guys this it looks as good I do.

Here's the links to the pics:

Sorry guys. Guess my pics were to large to upload so I tried just posting the direct urls in my post but it seems to not have worked. I will have to adjust the size and repost. Please check back tomorrow. Sorry.

There is nothing wrong with the size from photobucket, the photo links have been inadvertently truncated in the copy paste operation.

When you go to the photos on your photobucket account to copy the links, look for the field called "IMG Code" - copy and paste that link, it contains the codes to display the images on vbulletin forums (and others). If you do not have that option, copy the "Direct Link" code, and rather than pasting it, at the top of the post composition window, there is a little yellow square with a mountain in it (7th from the left, next to the globe with the link chain in the quick compose window), click it, a pop-up box will appear, paste the code into that and click ok. OR, type in [IMG] pasted link [/IMG].

Welcome. BTW, you can insert up to 5 (6?) images per post.

I think you should move the Boveda pack to the opposite side of the tupperdor, or just toss it on top of the cigars. Not that it will make any difference to the cigars, it won't, but with it right behind the hygrometer like that, the hygrometer might report a higher humidity than you actually have in the container which, in turn, might cause you to worry about the cigars. If this happens, there is no real reason to worry, as the bovedia pack will maintain, for the most part, the humidity stamped on the pack, so, if the hygrometer were to read high, with them that close together, I would trust the pack before I trusted the hygrometer.

I see nothing wrong with your humi, except that you still have space left and you will outgrow this humi in no time....but it looks great, and I have no idea on the stickers you were asking about....
