You are correct. I can't beleive he gave all these to me. I will be a seasoned cigar smoker soon. I just don't want them to ruin. Instead of the film thing could I use one of those humi-sticks?

Absolutely, I was just giving you the "McGuyver" approach. You can also use wet (Oasis) foam, available at hobby shops. Shape it to whatever container and you've got a sho' nuff humidifier.

I have a shrine to Danny built above one of my humidors.

so the container does not need to be air tight, just good seal?

It's better if it's not airtight. They won't age right and you'll get an ammonia smell built up. E-mail me and I'll give you the URL for an excellent article on cigar storage. jreddochatexcitedotcom.
