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

Many people prefer 65% but 69% works fine. the number of bovedas depends on the size.
Just put the cigars in, you should be fine.

Looks like even I cant mess this one up.

You'd be surprised what people are capable of. Just make sure the container is airtight and food-safe, wipe it out, put your cigars in with the Bovedas, and you'll be ok.

And this is really all you need to know.

You can make cigar storage as complicated or as simple as you want. I like simple.

this works well for NC cigars.......

Cuban cigars smoke much better at 60-63%.
If you are keeping both in the same unit, go for 65%

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.

So, does this mean you're middle aged?

Ha. I am actually.

My lame attempt at humor.
To positively contribute to the thread, my humi sits at 65, and I'm middle aged as well.

I keep mine around 67... perhaps I'm just in denial about my age?

If you do what has been suggested, air-tight Tupperware and a Boveda, you will be ahead of 90% of cigar smokers. The problems people have with wooden humidors is endless. Air-tight is the key.

I bought a sistema 3L at Bed,Bath,and Beyond today.
It was only $8 so that and my 69% Boveda is what I am now using for storage.
Thanks for all the help folks.
