I come home from a meeting and find that my wife's friend has helped us pack. She packed 2 one hundread count humidors, filled with cigars, into large boxes. She said she surrounded them with clothes, etc, etc and the boxes seem tight and sturdy.

What say you?

Nice gesture, but what is going to keep the cigars from flying around inside the humidor when the movers tip the boxes on their sides?

Layer bubble pack or air pillows in the top of the humidor to keep the cigars from flying around and then lock the humidor to keep the lid from popping open. If it doesn't have a lock, tape the humidor shut with the blue 3m painters tape (it's low tack, 14 day release, it's strong, but it won't hurt the finish of the humidor or leave glue behind.)

Definately, unpack and repack. #3 raises a very valid point. I learned the hard way. Luckily it was one desktop humi, with a couple of dozen sticks, and not the four 120 quart coolerdors, one 48 quart single sticks humi, and the desktop with a couple of dozen sticks in it, I would have to move today.

By the way,

shouldn't this be in C&R.

Carry the boxes carefully.

If you are using a moving company, write "Thin Walled Glass Jars of Urine" on the box in big letters. They will be careful then.......nobody wants pee all over themselves man.

The humidors would definitely not go in the moving truck.

They deserve to be personally chauffer driven to their new home.

I'd find a new wife...

Like Robert, my family knows not to touch the coolers.

My wife was not there at the time, she woulda told her.

I'm going to keep them in the boxes and put them in my car Saturday morning so the movers arn't messing with them.

Thanks guys. Too tired to start unpacking. These are big boxes.

Skipping work tomorrow to finish packing, break down crib-computer, etc, etc....

Ditto #7 - when I moved my humidor rode with me in the passenger seat. Of course, that was back when I only had one humidor...
