Depends on where you are.............if you are in a high humidity environment you probably don't need to do anything. I have an air-conditioned garage that stays up at 70% (must be all the leaky walls) - not best for human comfort but OK for cigars. I use old hardened bovedas to soak up excess moisture and then recycle them indoors.
Remember you have the wood as well as the cellophane as some short term protection. For longer periods, put in a big ziplock baggie or for even longer use tupperware or cooler as mentioned. If it seals real good you could forgo the boveda for a few weeks....things don't change very fast in sealed environment.
For long term storage a boveda should be used so you can actually monitor and maintain the right condition. My bovedas seem to last forever in tupperware. I use 69% and my house stays at 55% so the spread is not much. I have not bought new ones for years. If I was in the desert I am sure it would be a lot different.
