Cigars poss drying out

[JonnyO]

I am getting a humidor at end of month, but until then I am going to put them in Tupperware. What is the best way to go about this? If I wet a sponge an line the bottom with paper towel (while cigars are still in cedar wood box), would that be enough? Just they run the risk of drying out soon I think

You probably won't need humidification in a tupperware for a month but if you're worried get a small Boveda pack

So I can just stick cigars in as they are? Thats great thanks PeeJay

Yeah pretty much what PJ says if it's just a month.

[JonnyO]

great thanks guys, they are going straight in when I go home. Hopefully they are not too bad yet.

My Asda 'Tupperware' box that I use for oddsnsods maintains 70% with nowt in it but cigars.

I'm starting to see that Boveda packs are basically the go to for most humidity issues

Boveda or beads are the only two way systems, personally I use mostly beads with boveda in my smaller tuperware.

Be careful what Boveda you get, I got given the 84 when I was very new to this and it was too extreme .

Your issue will be keeping humidity DOWN rather than up at the moment I think. Unless you have a very dry house. Mine is about 74% at the moment, I try not to open the various boxes too often. If you have a hygrometer you may find that your house is sitting at a reasonable humidity. Anything from 65-75 would be acceptable, at least for the month you're talking about. My opinion is that you should click them away in a sealed lock and lock type Tupperware as you lose a lot of the lovely smell and flavour if they are open to the air IMO.
