:argh:

So my wife bless her heart!!!!:argh::argh:Grabbed a cigar that was partially smoked and through it in my tupperdor in case I wanted to smoke the rest of it at some other time ( she didn't want it to dry out):argh::argh:. Now my tupperdor stinks like...well,you know. What can I do to eliminate that faul odor from my cigars and tupperdor?

wash it

wash it

Correction, Make her wash it out. Then let it air out. Then refill.

Seriously though.... What Craig said. Dont over think it too much.

 

[Cojonu]

What about the loose cigars? Will they lose that faul aroma over time?

 

[mmchugh84]

Maybe let them air out a little while, and return to a separate container away from unaffected cigars to sit for a while and Hope/Pray the smell goes away

If they have been in there a few days they will likely have that stench for a while. Call em fire cured, smoke em and get the divorce papers in order

Lmfao! @ CMac


So my experience is kinda similar. Back when I first started I made a tupperdore out of a samll tupperware big enough for the 5 sticks I would have on hand to smoke with my grandad when he was still alive. I smoked half of a drew estate java and tossed it in there for later. Not knowing better. I had to wash the tupperware like 5 times with dawn. The other sticks always smelled. I smoked them over like two months but down to the last one they stank. Tasted fine though...

Here are my two cents:

Gently explain to your wife why that was a bad idea, let her smell one of the other cigars that have been tainted (temporarily)…

…and then tell her "I love you" and take her out for a nice dinner. She did something that most wives would never do for their cigar-smoking husbands - she kept it for you in case you wanted to finish it instead of taking the opportunity to "throw that smelly thing out".

Letting a bunch of sticks air out is a small price to pay when you're married a someone who tries to be helpful in your hobby.

And if she still feels bad and wants to make it up to you, tell her to invite a couple of her girlfriends over for an evening of "Keep the Sultan Happy" :clap:

^^^This..... LMFAO...."Keep the sultan happy" I would trash the tupperdoor and get a new one. I made the same mistake with a travel humidor case when I first started. I aired it, and aired it, and the smell would never come out. I had to get rid of it. It had that fabric type lining though that comes in the aluminum travel humidors. Maybe plastic will come clean.
