Ok.... so what do you do with a humidor that you would never put smokes in? It "LOOKS" very cool, but it has NO seals... not way to control RH ...

Do you use it to hold watches.... condoms.... ear rings..... PLEASE give me some nice suggestions because dad gave me this so I really can't get rid of it...... But it looks kinda cool..... 633585.jpg

What the heck are you talking about ???

Even the very best humidors don't hjave a perfect 'seal'. Besides, you don't want them to to be airtight ... they have to 'breathe' in order to properly store and age your cigars !!!

Just keep the humidifier properly 'charged' ... and it will be fine.

not sure what seal issue you have but go to the hardware store and get that felt or rubber piping for windows and such and it is peal and stick. Stick it alone the opening so it seals the drawers (if thats the is the issue). It looks cool. Dont get rid of it! find a way to help the issue or just keep charging the media often.

Make humidifiers out of cigar tubes, and seal with felt as suggested. I actually would not even worry about the seal.

I like the piping/felt idea! Charlie..... my dad comes over and says lets have a smoke... how's the cool hummi doing I gave you..... and I say..... Ummm... Charlie has it....

you would hear the sound of a 1911 chambering a 45 acp.... and the sound of my back door slamming shut as I run very very fast.... He's 65, but I still have the fear of Dad and God.....

Thanks guys... I have not been using it, but will hit Ace tomorrow and have options. There really is no seal at all. Gap around every drawer about 1/8 inch..... so it is pretty dramatic. But with a rubber strip, on the inside lip, for them to close on, should work and not take away from the look....

Oh... and it doesn't sharpen knives... but dad can do that too... of course....

Thanks all..... really.

Worse comes to worst--you could use it as a drybox.

A lot of people will "drybox" their cigars before they smoke them. That is , they will put them in a humi, cigar box etc. that has no source of humidity a day or so before they smoke them. Supposed to even out the humidity and make them smoke more evenly and better.

Pyramids generate negative ions. In addition, they are believed to have a generally balancing effect on the electromagnetic field of the body. This effect is enhanced by the particular materials used, such as pure 24K gold and copper.

* Charging Crystals This is a popular use for pyramids. It is generally believed that quartz crystals are most effective for this use, as they may hold the charge for several weeks. These crystals can then be used for healing purposes or for programming.

* Large pyramids (the kind you sit inside) are often used for meditation, distant healing, massage, acupuncture, and Reiki.

* Many people have also experienced that after sleeping inside a pyramid they find that they need less sleep and feel more relaxed and at peace when they wake up.

* Many people put their drinking water in pyramids to imbue it with the negative ions which are a particular aspect of pyramid energy. It is recommended to put a glass inside a pyramid for about half-an-hour, and large quantities overnight.
