    I'm right on board with this suggestion!



    Don't confuse "cheap" with "reasonably priced" There's a big difference between the two. I have two reasonably priced humidors - neither of them are cheap (at least I did not need to work on fixing the seals on either when I bought them). And if you're looking to spend no more than $50 - Tupperware works great! If you get a big enough Tupperware container, you can even store the cigars in cigar boxes. Absolutely no need to worry about the seal on that... ::

    Well - I "sealed" the plexiglass with scotch tape and put in the humicare beads and the regular humidifier puck both filled with distilled water, in addition to the 7 boveda 72% RH packs.

    It seems each day the RH has been going up. Right now it's 70*F and 70% RH.
