We got so many smokes in that bomb that we had to redneck engineer a humidor that would accomidate them all. I found an old air tight box and with the help of a cardbord box and some humi disks we have a faily usible box. The next step is to find some ceder and make inserts at the woodshop.

Thanks again to everyone who donated, they arnt going to wast.670941.JPG

Nice box. I would, however, recommend modifying the box to keep it from being an airtight seal. Maybe create a small hole or purge. Humidors are not airtight, and need some exchange in air between the air outside and inside the humidor. Otherwise, you will have to make a habit of regularly opening the humidor and letting it breathe.

From what I have gathered about these fellas in the land of the sand, regularly opening the humidor won't be a problem. IF, that is, opening it to get a smoke out regularly will count!

Way to problem solve fellas, but Steve has a great point.

Take care, come home safe!

You should visit your local B&M store in the interim to see if they are disposing of any boxes or box liners that you could use to line the bottom and sides of the plastic box. The cedar holds some moisture, adds the appropriate aroma, and you can use ths splints to assist in lighting the sticks when it comes time to enjoy.

Also--Thanks for being out there and doing your job. God speed and Safe Home.

Be sure and heed the advice of SteveR, as you need it not to be airtight!

Good luck Bro

I made my coolerdor and use beads which seems to work just fine (except for spilling the beads - which drew even more evil looks from wife). I was at the local farmers market and bought some cedar planks to create a shelf. Is the aromatic cedar just too aromatic for a coolerdor? I know Spanish cedar is what you should normally used. I've done a search and have not seen an answer to this question.

Hey rver,

DO NOT USE AROMATIC CEDAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will ruin your smokes.

Spanish cedar, or none at all.

What Dave said^

And as also stated above if you guys are in and out of the humi a lot, INMHO you probably do not need to worry about a purge.

Thanks to Schmitty also for getting you guys those sticks and everyone who donated. Stay safe bro.
