just to update. i've been storing some sticks in that wal mart jar with the latch. works great! i've got some beads in there with some cedar scraps and it's holding humidity between 68-72. not bad for five bucks. i think i'm gonna glue a piece of a sponge to the lid and spray it with some distilled water as well.
it's also good to travel with. i took them camping with me last night.

The jar works great. At my local Herf house, they had the H. Upmann jars for sale. And they had a couple of empty ones. I bouth one for 7 bucks. It is working great.Originally Posted by chefchris

Jars are a great sealed environment but I understand they can damage the foot of the cigar if they are stored upright. Also, the environment is so airtight that over long periods of time ammonia builds up as the cigars age. So store them on the side and open the jars up every once in a while to exchange the air.

Oh yea that common knowledge. You need to let your cigars breathe every once n a while, even in a regular humidor. I open my humidor every 2 weekes, to let my cigars breathe a fresh breath of air.
