This video helped me save so much money! I was transferring my collection from wood humidors to an acrylic humidor. But the Boveda acrylic one is so expensive I could only afford one but when I saw this video, BINGO! Perfect, cheap tupperdor with wood trays. Thanks Kevin!
the wooden box for tuppador genuiss ideal !!!!!!!!! I have a humidor but I also use these plastic clear containers that you use for pasta or flower or sugar . air tight , works great and I think looks good on my counter . thanks
Cool..I've seen several ppl recommend these in some of the FB groups I'm a member of..especially for someone who is new to cigar smoking. They say they're very easy to maintain..a lot less work so to speak..like a set it & forget it type of thing..I think it's a great move for someone who has a busy lifestyle and wants to have something to keep their cigars safe..the box to put it in is a great cosmetic upgrade!
Agreed Sherry! I like the maintenance-free aspect of it. Anybody that watched any of my videos know that I have nothing but problems with humidors! I am seriously considering buying a dozen of these and a really nice china cabinet!
I have a sistema tuperdor myself. It's a bit smaller than that one and I use it strictly for traveling. Spent a week at the beach this summer and it worked great. Took about 20 cigars, a couple 69% boveda packs it was splendid. Edit: putting those cedar trays in is totally unnecessary. Cut $28 off the price. You dont need them.
I have 16 tupperdores full. I love them way more than any other humidor. Because of me traveling for work all the time the low to no maintenance is key.
Great video. I have a few tupperdor. spent at the most $20 on the containers and threw some 60g boveda packs in them and off we went. Each holds about 50 - 75 cigars and they work wonderful. This is an awesome little kit though that you have put together. and that box is outstanding.
Thanks Chris! I think they humidor business is going to slowly go downhill if not disappear over the next few years. These containers are just too damn nice!
@@Cigarprop they are nice and so much cheaper. I dont use the trays in mine. and like Bob said. everytime i go in mine to look for a cigar they all get rotated.
I’ve got a tupperdor for my singles, nice RubberMade with super clear and sturdy plastic that i got from Target, fits 20-30sticks. Couple 69% bovedas and sat in my closet it’s doing great
I ordered 2 Mantello Cigars Cedar Trays and this same Sistema 1870 236 oz container. The dimensions were accurate, however I'm not able to stack 2 trays in the Sistema container like I see in various pics online. The container is about 1/4" short and the lid won't seal. The trays are correct dimensions, however the dimensions of the Sistema container are outside, not inside dimensions. Not quite sure how everyone is able to stack 2 of these trays and still seal the lid?
Best thing I did with my cigars is put them in the Sistema container. Like Bob said zero maintenance and my Boveda 60 gram packs have lasted me a little over a year. ( 4 packs in each tupperdor). Just did a refresher on the Boveda packs and the old ones I could still be using, no hardness to them at all. I have a hygrometer in there just to keep track of temperature as the humidity is solid at 69. I will be reaching out to Bob to get me one of these boxes and it will be sweet to keep them in.
I been using mason jars for my overflow I throw some cider spills and 2 small bovida packs they hold 10 cigars each haven’t had any problems have about 10 of them and they look good in the cabinet and when I travel I throw a jar in my bag
That intro was funny. lol Plus if a tobacco beatle was to infest the cigars or they were to hatch, they cannot chew through the plastic container and get in or out so that's a big plus imo.
We use the largest Rubbermaid Brilliance container as a travelling/home humidor. I keep a lot of my favorite cigars in it at home for easy access. It holds about 30 cigars. A piece or two of cedar and one 69 boveda pack. If I were going to expand how many cigars I had, I would definitely do something like you have done in the video.
I love these containers, I use one of them and some of the rubbermaid brilliance containers which are also great. Using a standard desktop humidor got in the way of that I wanted to do, smoke the cigars. I was constantly fucking with it and it just annoyed me more than it worked. For me personally I’m so much happier I switched the to tupperdore system.
I am really digging this setup! I am going to look up that Brilliance container though oh, you're the third person that has mentioned that to me and it looks like a really good container.
Cigar prop hope you like those Rubbermaid ones bud, they seem to hold humidity perfectly, I’ve had one 60gram boveda in each for months and they’ve worked perfectly 👍🏼👍🏼
I bought a smaller glass too humidor and then got a box of cigars and a couple 10 packs and ran out of room so I just use Tupperware now and I found a cool place in the basement closet so I stay right at 70 and 70 for a long time I didn’t want a big humidor when I just bought that 40 count so Tupperware is saving me money and I have a divider or two and some cedar spills in there it’s worked great
If you wipe them down with distilled water first, it speeds up how fast you can put your cigars in there. I usually just tell people to throw in a few Boveda packs and wait 2 weeks
I just got the same set up. It looks like your Sistema has plenty of headroom with the two trays in it. Mine is too tight to seal the lid. I'm going to have to cut 1/8th inch of height off one of the trays so I can seal the Sistema properly. Other than, that I like it.
I've got this setup pretty much, except I don't have 2 trays. I have 1 tray and one cigar box stacked. I did season that wood with %84 bovedas for 2 weeks before I put my cigars in there. I went with %65 boveda packs when I put my cigars in.
@@Cigarprop I got an empty box from the padron 7000 I think. Those cigars are 60 ring gauge therefore providing you with plenty of room for your cigars. I drilled holes in the bottom of it. It sits perfectly on top of the one shelf I ordered from amazon
I'm new at cigar smoking, I understand wanting a humidor and I can see this being within my budget, but if the packets maintain the humidity then what's the point of the hygrometer?
Buy early, buy cheap. Those 1870 model Sistemas often get a price spike around holidays. Occasionally I’ve seen amazon run a discount sale on them too, so watch amazon frequently.
do i need to season the cedar trays before stacking the cigars in the Tupperdor ? if yes for how long before i can stack the cigars in the tupperware ? thanks
If I I have Cedar sheets that come with a box of cigars, I will always take it out and throw it in the bottom of one of my Tupper doors, but I don't seek out Cedar to put in them anymore
For me to put one together up here in Canada is $200.... not including the wooden box. Absolutely brutal, but still better than the cheap "humidors" elsewhere. Love the videos Kevin!
Cigar prop cool. Not trying to be a dick bro just trying to gather everyone’s opinion before I formulate or change my own. Thanks though. Can I get a shout out? Lol 🙏🏼
Hey so I’m buying the sistema humidor. Do you recommend buying cedar trays or sheets and seasoning it first, then throwing in a boveda pack ? Or should I just keep it with no cedar and throw a boveda pack in with the cigars right away
Since this video, I now have almost two dozen tupperdors. You don't need any cedar trays or Cedar sheets. Just put in a small Boveda and you'll be fine.
Just watched this video. Bought two setups and added Boveda Butlers to each. My question would be-- how many cigars can I fit in these comfortably? Relatively new to cigar storage. In the past I only bought what I would smoke in a month and I am starting to stockpile now.
I just counted one of mine, and I had a t cigars in it. Now in that particular one, I do not have the cedar trays. It's just full of random cigars that I'll probably never smoked But I probably could have gotten another 10 cigars in there
@@walterflynn466 have 3 of these setup. All 3 with 2 trays each. With the trays, approximately 50. Without the trays, I’d guess about 80-100. You don’t want to use up more than 75% of the space as you want adequate airflow.
After seeing this video we are considering switching all of our bulk storage for our cigar inventory. To this method. We do sell a decent amount per month So the inventory would turn quickly I'll need to do some cost analysis. My only concern is the cost of them we would need quite a few probably like two to three hundred of them
In that case, get a large Igloo cooler. I do have one of the largest ones that Igloo makes, and I keep about 1000 cigars in it. It works just like these small containers
@@Cigarprop how many of the 320 G Pack would be need? Or would it be more cost effective in the long run just to get some wine coolers and turn them into humidors so we wouldn't have to use Bovada packs
Damn, I just bought the same sistema and 2 trays do not fit. No biggie, just bought another sistema lol. I'd rather have some space in there. I use 65 bovedas (personal preference)
Cigar Prop - Do you find that your Tupperdor stays cooler (temp-wise) inside "Bob's" wooden box or outside it? I have the same Sistem Tupperdor but no wooden box and the temp wants to stay above 72 degrees.
I don't actually have one of Bob's boxes oh, this is just one that he brought over for the video. I honestly wouldn't worry about the temperature too much. You want to focus on the humidity level. I have several of these that I use for cigars, and I have my big traditional stand up cabinet humidor, and I really don't pay attention to the temperatures. Occasionally I will look and see that the temperatures are between 72 and 78 degrees, and it doesn't bother me as long as my humidity level is not above 68. High temperatures and high humidity will lead to mold. But high temperatures and a lower humidity, and you'll be just fine
@@Cigarprop Thanks. That really eases my mind. Until recently, I've only bought a few cigars at a time. But now I'm wanting to keep more cigars at home and I'm obviously new to the humidor game. Love the videos. Unpretentious and honest.
I'll be honest with you, nobody uses the trays anymore. It was something that we used to do a few years ago because we thought that we needed Cedar in the containers, come to find out we don't.
@@Cigarprop oh didn’t realize. Seems to be less to no maintenance if I chose not to use the trays. Using the trays mainly for organization. OCD I guess. Thanks for the reply though.
Quick question, when you first got the sistema Tupperware did you clean it out before putting your cigars in and if I’m just using some cedar sheets do I need to season those sheets ?
All I do is leave them out for a couple of days with the lids off, so any excess plastic smell will bleed off. If you're going to use cedar sheets, you don't have to season them. But to be honest, I wouldn't use them. I don't use any cedar in my tupperdors anymore because the cedar will impart a little bit of Cedar taste to the cigars. I just want to taste the cigars on their own, not with the added cedar.
I'll be honest with you, I have well over a dozen tupperdors, and I don't keep any humidification in any of them. I found that it's not necessary. I have some that have had no humidification in them for over a year, and the cigars are still perfect and the humidity level is still perfect
I've never tested any of mine with water. I've never had any cigars dry out, and I've never had any Bovada prematurely dry out, so I've never thought about testing the seal.
I never season anything anymore. And I'll be honest with you I haven't used the trays in probably 2 years. I have found the cigars really don't need the cedar. When I was a little newer to the cigar industry, like when this video was made, everybody always promoted cedar. I really don't think that's necessary anymore
It depends on what I'm trying to accomplish. If I'm putting cigars in the tupperdor that are a little dry, I'll put a 69% in and then swap it out to a 65% later on. It just depends on the situation
When I put a bunch of cigars in a new Tupperdor, I'll usually put some humidification in there for a couple of months and then I take it out. Once the cigars are properly humidified, a good Tupperdor will keep them sealed forever. Now if this is a tupperdor that you're opening everyday, you're going to want to keep humidification in it. I have Tupperdors that haven't been opened in probably a year.
I bought the same tupperdor with the two Spanish cedar trays, seasoned the trays in the tupperdor for 14 days using 69% Boveda packs as shown in your video, calibrated my digital hygrometer, no cigars are in the tupperdor and yet my RH levels only get up to 64% away from any direct sunlight. When I take the wood trays out, my RH levels reach and stay at 69%. So clearly the trays are absorbing much of the RH from the Boveda packs. Should I bump up the Boveda packs to 72% or 75% RH to gain the few RH points to reach that sweet spot of 65-69% RH, re-season the trays in the tupperdor with 84% Boveda packs, or is 64% RH ok. Keep in mind I live in Texas and do have a mixture of about 20 Old World Cigars and about 40 New World Cigars. Thanks in advance, great videos and channel!!!
u said when u traveled u stick your lighters in there. Im guessing youre not talking about plane travels because they dont let torchlighters in your check in or carry on. Sucks
