You would think this is a beginner way of storing your cigars but you know what I've been smoking for over 20 years and had all the fancy humidors and this is by far the best way to keep your cigars.
Same here brother. I had the most fancy hand made humidors and they are all crap. Cant hold air tight. And the boveda ziplock bags suck too (the plastic zipper always breaks and splits the seal line leaving gaps in it. Good old Tupperware and a 65% Boveda pack for Cubans is the way to go.
Man, as a new beginner in cigars, you have helped me save so much money from buying an expensive humidor. Thanks again for the quick easy and straight to it video.
I agree 100% - since storing my cigar collection in Emsa (for the most part), my smokes are kept in absolutely perfect condition but my only caution to Folks would be to use Boveda to not over humidify. Great video!
I'm not a good English speaker, but you are saying normal, not hard words to understand. The content 👍 Understandable for not English speakers 👍 ThanX ✊
Your comments are "right on" and with that said, I am dating myself as an old codger. I have tried several humidor types and never attained consistent humidity control as seasons changed. I switched to tupperware-like plastic containers and bolveda packs about 5 years ago and experienced perfect results, winter and summer. Kudos for a great video.
Yes, 100% agree. I use the Large Rubbermaid Brilliance units and when paired with a Boveda pack, gives me the confidence that I don’t need to worry about the humidity. So, it just becomes a challenge of mastering the temperature. If you have a good HVAC system, great. Otherwise it can take some tinkering to nail temp.
Your argument is solid when it comes to practicality and cost. They are very reliable, inexpensive, and low maintenance. BUT I personally prefer my method: wooden cabinets. Yes, I have paid thousands on my cigar cabinets. I monitor them constantly and find myself tweaking and adjusting, but I personally don't mind it because I consider this part of the enjoyment of the hobby. Besides, while tupperdors are cheaper, my cabinets look much better in my living room.
Quick update for all you guys... what I do now is keep all my cigars safely stored in tupperware containers just like the video suggested, but since tupperware cannot control heat and plastic can cause the container to get too hot if not careful (which can cause the cigars to crack, or worse, hatch tobaccor beetles... gross!), I put 65% Boveda packs and a hydrometer inside each tupperware container along with my cigars, and then I simply put all the tupperware containers inside a big standard wine fridge (my wine fridge is 25" x 30" and about 3.5ft tall). I then set the temperature of my wine fridge to 68F (20C). I use 65% because I smoke Cubans and they tend to do better with less humidity given how tightly packed the tobbaco is. Good luck gents!
@@jaredprince4142 none whatsoever brother. My cigars are tasting amazing. Aging gracefully as well. I have HUGE peace of mind knowing my cigars are safe. Especially in Canada where we have wild swings in temperature and humidity given our four season climate. And given how egregiously expensive cigars are here with our government taxes. Want to know these over priced sticks are safe! This does the trick!
Thank you for this post, great idea. I've often wondered about Tupperware for cigars. I've spent big money on cigar storage and a cheaper just as good option was right there in front of me. 👍
i just come back from piñar del rio where i went to the farms and factories where your hundred dollar cigars are made and it only gets the fancy packaging and treatment at the last stage before it goes on the shelf. they spend most of the time sat in the back of a 1960s soviet truck travelling round cuba before it gets a sticker stuck on it and everyone obsesses over 1% of temperature and humidity. i was buying cohibas for 25 cent which tasted as good as the cohibas for 20 dollars
Couple questions. Sort of a beginner here, but I was wondering, living here in Michigan it gets pretty cold in my house at times in the winter. do you ever worry about temperature control? Can cigars get too cold? Much appreciated. Love the channel bro.
Actually, some folks have sealed up cigars and put them in their fridge. Like most things, it acts as preservation. What you want to avoid is extreme temp fluctuation.
I am just getting started in cigar smoking, I wish I would of found your video sooner, I already purchased a Needone 300 capacity electric humidor plus other things. I am to far as far as money invested to change my mind now.
There's off course a few differences when you use the word "storage". Mainly in the duration of it. You can either store to smoke not too much later. Or you can store to smoke later and have a bunch of cigars to age in the same place. The first is easy, you can even do it in a zip lock bag. But the second one is a whole other story. You can't have full air tightness. You need a very faint stream of fresh air combined with the perfect humidity. That's why the choice of wood is very important. They best option is a decent humidor cabinet. Unless you live in the desert the cooledor is not necessary.
Yes getting fresh air in these sealed humidors is necessary for long term aging but doesn't need to be constant. Just open it once a month to exchange the air.
Spanish Cedar sheets & Boveda 69s & a hard, sealed plastic container. I have the larger Wooden show cases too, but for aging sticks, can’t beat the Tupperware. Though they do need to be aired out monthly to release fermentation gasses! 👍
relevantinformation Same here , I have 3 plastic type cigar jars and they actually hold the humidity better than my wooden humidor which cost 3 times as much!
Thanks mate. Keeps me confident in the state of my cigars over time. My tupperdor/boveda game is solid - how can it not be? Lol, too easy. Quick question: how crucial is it to store the T-dor’s somewhere with a very stable temperature? Got mine in an upstairs closet with a temp range of 60-75. Hard to keep anywhere in the house that stable, especially during winter
I keep mine in a closet in my office and previous in my basement with minimal temp fluctuations and light. I think that is the way to go just to keep this steady.
I have the same issue as live in an old Victorian house in London so it gets cold in winter, especially if we are out, but our heating is decent and the house gets toasty pretty quickly.
I am considering glass airtight jars with Boveda packs, Spanish cedar sheets/strips because glass is inert as opposed to non food grade plastic. I’m basically not into plastics for items I consume or put in my body (when it can be controlled). I’m curious if you and any other viewers have pondered this or have other thoughts and perspectives.
A couple of points to boost the discussion. Besides the RH, you have to be lucky enough to live in a place where temps don’t fluctuate much, otherwise you must use a wineador. Your cigars are in direct contact with the container’s plastic, and that’s why people prefer glass tupperware, which are however much more expense. Others actually wrap the box sides with cedar sheets, which seems to be a good compromise (you’ll get them for free at you cigar shop). And then, last but not least, tupperware are usually too small for cigar boxes, meaning that they are always a short term solution, but you can’t use them if you want to age your cigars. I personally use a big plastic container (not air tight), I place my cigar boxes in individual ziplock bags with a Boveda pack 65%, and I store them in my cellar, which is cool all year around.
I’ve just got my first box of 25 cigars (super partagas) and was wondering why they won’t age in a tuperdore, as that’s what I’d planned to do. I already bought some Spanish cedar wood that’s in the Tupperware box (which already houses my nicer singles) with a couple of 69 bovedas and I also tend to remove all the little cedar wraps from tubos and leave them in there too (no idea if that’s a waste of time though!). So if you don’t mind me asking as a newbie, would I be better leaving the box elsewhere in a bag or can I place it in the Tupperware.
Great video. I'm fairly new to cigars and was wondering if someone could help ... I live in England and our house is between 65-75 degrees for approximately half the year but on hot summer days, our house can get up to around the 85 degrees mark. What would I do with my small cigar collection in this Tupperdor container which I'm thinking of getting? Or, would I simply need to invest in a temperature control humidor as to not ruin the cigars in the summer? Thank you
@@hotticketcigarpodcast8627 Sweet, thank you! Love how straightforward & informative your content is, as someone who is interested in getting into cigars.
Question: I have Tupperwares but I live in a hot environment (Central California) where it’s constantly in the 90’s to over 100 degrees and the house has A/C but at times it’s not on so where can I stick the Cigars ? The closet or try to find the coldest room in the house or the a fridge that doesn’t work so well ? I’m new to Cigars and I’m definitely on a budget and I just want it about the Cigars at this point and fyi I have a friend who’s going to give a humidor box that holds about 25 cigars pretty soon but it’s the temperature that I’m concerned about since I don’t have a game plan as of yet
What about glass tupperware with clamp down seals? I have some of those. Would glass tupperware lids be better than plastic to avoid that plastic out-gas smell?
Personal preference. I keep them sealed in the box in my Pelican case, but once opened I remove them from the box. If you are using Tupperware I'd remove them just to save space but that's me.
@@blueridgeoceandoes your pelican case have a boveda pack in it? Also what size pelican? I have boxes coming in and nervous about storage. I do have pelicans though.
I mean.. yes it’s a great simple way to keep them… but if you’re log term ageing I like how Spanish cedar breathes, distributes the oils, but also as it has thermal capacity and regulates ranging temperatures.. but that’s just me as I have 20 year old both Cubans and non Cubans.. do what vibes with you’re cigars and enjoy the passion.. stay smoky
Not to mention for 30 cigars in Tupperware and one single 60g boveda pack last's veery long time, in my wood humidor it would last 2-3 months, I had 50 count humidor and had 3-4 60g in it and they would go rock but in Tupperware they last forever because the seal is just perfect, nothing goes out or in unless you open it
Well, that's because it's sealed, I prefer my high-end desktop humidor for staging purposes, but use a Pelican case for most everything from storing sealed boxes to loose cigars all in one.
I have 3 raching fridges with full boxes, therefore i shifted my remaining cigar boxes into tupperware but whenever i open the tupperware i smell over humidity/plastic smell.. is thing common?
@@hotticketcigarpodcast8627 I have a lot of tupperdores, even put my wood desktop humidors in huge plastic bins with a cigar oasis for a while. But living with my gf now, she keeps it hot in the summer with no AC when no one is home (sometimes 90+ degrees), so now I go with Audew to keep the temps down to prevent mold and other issues.
It’s definitely superior in terms of humidity. But As a florida Resident it doesn’t help me maintain temp. That’s the reason I’m moving from my tubber ware to a needone coolerdor
How many cigars do you think we can store in each tapperware? I mean 20 each or even 50 all together? Also how many bovenda (8gr or 60gr ) per cigars? Thank you
Also the boveda packs are measured by the amount of cigars the humidor can theoretically hold. If you use a Tupperware container that can hold say 200 cigars and place 3 cigars in that Tupperware a single 8g boveda pack will not be enough since the volume is so large. So you would need 5 to 8 60 gr boveda packs for a 200 count Tupperware
I am in all of mine so often it happens weekly but if you have a container that holds cigars you don't touch as often I would say every few months would be fine. Good time to check your humidity as well.
I love my Tupperdors until I got an electric wine cooler and a wooden humidor by MonteCristo.. Now its a distant 3rd. 👉🏾 I use alot of Spanish Cedar inside my Tupperdors. Cedar blocks and Cedar sheets. I shopped Goodwill & found the Wooden humidor for 25 bucks as well as the electric wine coolers $25 each also..
Good question. The more cigars I’m storing (typically in a larger container) I default a large 69rh pack. I use the smaller ones in my smaller containers as I usually have enough product coming in that comes with an RH pack that I can just throw it in and have it last a decent chunk of time
Skip the expensive wooden boxes and go straight for the good stuff. Food storage containers with a silicone seal beats traditional humidors in all practical ways.
You are paying too much for both your Tupperware AND your Boveda packs. Dollarama has those containers for $3 each and the Boveda packs start at $6. (You should also add a panel of cedar.
You trying to win some type of award. Best container for cigar gold. I mean to each their own, but he gave 3 good reasons. Spent 20 bucks vs 100-200 bucks to do the same thing.

Yeah I would hate for cancer risks to get into my cigars.
Great video. How do you monitor internal temperature? 70f?
I seen people purchase one or two digital hygrometers and leave them in the container.
Should you keep the plastic wrapper off the cigar or leave it on

It depends on the size. You don't want it too packed maybe 50% is a good range. Idk for sure though since I hardly ever go over 75% in my humidor.
Also the boveda packs are measured by the amount of cigars the humidor can theoretically hold. If you use a Tupperware container that can hold say 200 cigars and place 3 cigars in that Tupperware a single 8g boveda pack will not be enough since the volume is so large.

What's your thoughts on small vs large Boveda packs?
Good question. The more cigars I’m storing (typically in a larger container) I default a large 69rh pack. I use the smaller ones in my smaller containers as I usually have enough product coming in that comes with an RH pack that I can just throw it in and have it last a decent chunk of time
Doing this for years
Skip the expensive wooden boxes and go straight for the good stuff. Food storage containers with a silicone seal beats traditional humidors in all practical ways.
Mine aren't holding I only have 10 cigars with a 69 humindidty pack
You can see what's in it
Leaches chemicals, the more flexible the plastic the worse this is. It maybe slow but its a thing. Tupperware is a brand.
Going to discount your hobby , just because your keeping your sticks in food containers
Gotta do what works best!

You are paying too much for both your Tupperware AND your Boveda packs. Dollarama has those containers for $3 each and the Boveda packs start at $6. (You should also add a panel of cedar.
Nothing like locking that plastic Tupperware taste into hundreds of dollars worth of sticks.
maybe so but it's just so damn ugly i would rather not use it. Why not go with an acrylic box?
You trying to win some type of award. Best container for cigar gold. I mean to each their own, but he gave 3 good reasons. Spent 20 bucks vs 100-200 bucks to do the same thing.
@@Rysarod aesthetics matter that’s why there is a market for fine humidors. Duh.
Not superior. Not temp control. You’ll have temp swings
This is not Tupperware!
My tupperdore isn't working...69% boveda pack...about as big as the one you're using...what's going on...anyone...
