New smoker with some questions

[Lopaka]

First, welcome to the boards!

- so i was cleaning out a closet back at home and i found what i think is a humidor, do any of you know anything about an Alfred Dunhill and if they make humidors?

If you could post a picture of the box, we can tell you if it's a humi or a really nice Cigar Box. Even if it's a Cigar Box, if it's got a good seal you can use it as a temp Humi.

- if this is a humidor what do i do to make it work?

If it is a Humi, you'll need a humidifier. Which, as mentioned earlier can be as simple as a sponge (unscented, none bacterial) in a cup, a humidifier from a Cigar shop, or beads. Some Cigar shops also have temp humidifiers that are cheap that you could use also. Just be sure to use distilled water if you get a humidifier from a shop. Or you can take your Cigars, put them in a large plastic zip lock bag with a damn sponge and store in a dark place (closet) until you find something better.

- i got a box of Romeo y Julietas that come in aluminum tubes, if i put them in a humidor do i need to take them out of the tubes?
- i also have a few miscelaneous cigars that have plastic or celophane wrappers on them, do i need to take them out of those when i put them in a humidor too?

You can store them with the tubes or without and the same with the wrapper. That's a personal preference. Don't worry about the questions. Most of us ask many questions and many of us are still learning this hobby. I am one of them.

Again, welcome to the boards.
