Best products from r/cubancigars

Check these out, holmes. They rock. Don't have to worry about any damage from sliding around in the box. Don't have to worry about them getting wet if you're in a swampy area (bovedas ain't gonna fix 90+% ambient rh, no matter how great they are). The thing is cheap. I could go on.

I've been using a 5 ct one like that for a few years now, and am utterly pleased. I've also had what I guess they sold as a 50 ct unit, for about 20 years. It still serves me well, to this day. I find that having one 5 ct and one 50 ct is a great mix. One is nice and small so I can easily pocket it and walk around on a daytrip. The other carries enough cigars for the whole trip.

Good choices on the sticks, btw. That's a nice combo.

I think this is the one you’re talking about:

It’s highly regarded on reddit haha. It’s definitely a great choice. I actually bought it and cedar trays (linked below) to be my set up. These cedar shelves are a perfect fit inside too! 2 can stack and fit like a glove. Unfortunately my apt is always outrageously warm so I had to get a wineador.

Spanish Cedar Cigar Tray, Adjustable Divider, Fits Large Humidors, Made with Solid Spanish Cedar, by Quality Importers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B9234HE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JgI-Ab7WAXSV1

Plenty of people use tupperdors/coolerdors for long term storage. There's nothing wrong with it.

There's also nothing wrong with storing the cigars loose, as opposed to in the boxes. If this makes them all fit in your existing tupperdor, go for it.

You can also just get a bigger tupperdor. I use one of THESE and am perfectly happy with it.

You can also go with a large 'igloo'-type cooler if you deal with crazy temperature swings in your house.

Spanish cedar helps to stabilize humidity a little bit but its' not a magic material. Your bovedas are going to do more to maintain stable humidity than the spanish cedar ever would.

Wineadors are nice for maintaining stable temperature... unless your power flickers. Most of them automatically reset to the lowest temperature setting when they turn back on from a power failure. You'd be wise to purchase a cheap UPS battery backup to run your wine cooler on, if you go that route.

Most of the hardcore collectors I know do not go the fancy route for storage. Large tupperdors and coolerdors with bovedas are far more common. They do just as good a job for long term storage, and allow you to spend the extra money on cigars instead of fancy storage containers.

if its this it looks pretty cool, and good reviews too. Something to research now, thanks!

You can buy cedar trays on Amazon:


Two of these:

Fit perfectly into this:

Which is essentially the default recommendation for creating a tupperdor

Any idea on best size please? I’ve been looking at a 7ltr one like this.

Current one I’m using is smaller atm

Puroexpress is generally considered a bit iffy around here. The main sites people use are ihavanas.com and cigarsofhabanos.com. Generally speaking you can only buy by the box from these sites, not singles.

In your situation, if I wanted to order online, I'd probably go for

Montecristo Petit Edmundo (10 box) $76

or

Romeo y Julieta Short Churchills (10 box) $79

These are both "medium size" cigars, they'll look a bit more impressive than the real cheapies (and probably smoke better).

Also be aware of storage, once you get them (wherever you get them from) you want to put them into a sealed container like this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lock-Rectangular-Storage-Container-Clear/dp/B0000AN4CJ/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1495015140&sr=8-10&keywords=lock+n+lock

Doesn't have to exactly that, just needs to be near air tight and big enough to hold them

And add one of these

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Boveda-72-Percent-Individually-Wrapped-Humidity/dp/B00GX47820/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1495015194&sr=8-2&keywords=boveda+72

That will keep them at the correct humidity until you want to smoke them.

Oh also you'll probably want a cutter

Love this one. Had it for a year plus now and still going strong.

Have fun. Such an awesome investment

I have 2 150 count humidors, nothing fancy, one is a glass top and one isn't. They both hold humidity well. I also have a large storage bin.

It's awesome

Easy to move, completely airtight, large enough to hold 20+ boxes
