I need an emergency humidor

[ggiese]

There are also small humi bags that will work very well in a ziplock in the fridge. They are about 1 inch by 1.5 inches and light blue in color. You place it in distilleed water for a couple seconds then in the pouch. That pouch goes in a little large but still small ziplock. PLace that OPEN bag in a larger size ziplock with your smokes. They say these will work for a couple months.

I bought a couple from my local shop for about $.50 a piece.

Good Luck . . . . oh and hey, what is the cigar that you were given?????

NO!!! No ziplocks in the Fridge!!! (unless the temp is 70). The regular temp in a fridge will dry out the cigars....

The Fuente bags they sell at cigar shops work very well. The heavy freezer ziplocs are a good substitute. Of course, a tupperware container is the best method of storage - they seal very nice and hold the moisture in very well... I've tried soaking a sponge with tap water and get funny smells. I would suggest the florist foam and distilled water (costs about $5.00 total) You can also find humi packs online and at cigar stores. I paid .60 each and they work VERY well!!

Also, ask your local cigar dealer to hang on to the humi-pacs that come out of Fuente products. They look like a small "sache" envelope, and contain a moisture pack. They work great short term as well.

You guys are awesome. I live in Vegas, about 20 minutes from a reservation with a smoke shop. I've heard they have decent prices and a walk-in humidor, so I'm going to check them out and try to buy some type of humidor system. Thanks again for your help!
