I use two airtight Tupperware boxes about the size of a shoebox, with a big 320 gram Boveda 65% in each with a cheap Govee hygrometer shoved in the front. Conventional wisdom says not to use the airtight Tupperware because the sticks need gentle air circulation. Mine are packed in pretty full and airflow is further inhibited by placing groups of cigars in big zip lock bags for some smidge of organization. Being airtight, it will often get slightly over-humidified, as well, sometimes for extended periods of time. All of that being said, I’ve had zero issues with the setup. The first Boveda I put in is still completely juicy over 2 years later, too.

My first humidor was a big mason jar with a little clay disk in it. Worked perfectly fine. I replaced it with a 50 count desktop a few years later which I used until I ran out of room. I’ve had this Staebell Aristocrat Mini for over 20 years. It’s an amazingly functional humidor and a pretty nice piece of furniture too. I just replaced the original 20+ year-old Cigar Oasis unit in December.

Well, since posting this, I bought two WoodElric Cigar Tupperdors on Amazon. The acrylic on these is quite thick and sturdy, I was extremely surprised at how nice the quality is, and how rugged they are for the price.

I took out the small plastic humidifier and hydrometer that came with them, and put in two boveda packs in each container. The bottom container, the cigars have been in it almost 4 months and doing great.
