So I had these grand ideas of building a humidor (and one day that may happen) I keep acquiring more cigars and outgrowing the Tupperware type containers. Happened to have an extra small ridgid organizer box that I've only ever used to carry a nice set of chisels and other finer woodworking tools. As you can see it has a full rubber seal and very positive latches to keep it closed up tight. For less than $40 it should be a big win

Thats a good idea. You might need the large size Boveda packs for it though.

I use one of these on end. They already have slots for shelves. I've had almost 900 cigars in mine before lol
Usually keep around 400 on hand.

Nice, whatever works is what works. I've stores cigars in Middleton tubs, just push sealed tight, and a year later they were only getting better. I've used mason jars, plastic tubs, anything on hand to accomodate. My humidor holds about 150 or so in the sizes I buy, if I get a sweet deal on a few hundred I'll look into one of the large coolers like Sisyphus has.
