Tupperware Humidor | 3 reasons why Tupperware makes for the BEST cigar storage. 

You would think this is a beginner way of storing your cigars but you know what I've been smoking for over 20 years and had all the fancy humidors and this is by far the best way to keep your cigars.

Man, as a new beginner in cigars, you have helped me save so much money from buying an expensive humidor. Thanks again for the quick easy and straight to it video.

Very logical-all solid points. Nice to see inside without opening. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for this video. I’m new to cigars and was looking up acrylic humidors. This makes much more sense. Thanks!

I'm not a good English speaker, but you are saying normal, not hard words to understand. The content 👍 Understandable for not English speakers 👍 ThanX ✊

Me & my boy was about to build one. But my boy youve done the lords work.

I sincerely do agree with you, my friend. Have a good smoke and best wishes from Brazil.

Wow this is awesome ive had a few cigars and i want to start to get into it and i think this will help me to build a collection

Excellent! This is exactly the kind of information l was looking for! Thank you

Yes, 100% agree. I use the Large Rubbermaid Brilliance units and when paired with a Boveda pack, gives me the confidence that I don’t need to worry about the humidity. So, it just becomes a challenge of mastering the temperature. If you have a good HVAC system, great. Otherwise it can take some tinkering to nail temp.

Thank you for this post, great idea. I've often wondered about Tupperware for cigars. I've spent big money on cigar storage and a cheaper just as good option was right there in front of me. 👍

2yr old video but still great info… thanks man!

Your comments are "right on" and with that said, I am dating myself as an old codger. I have tried several humidor types and never attained consistent humidity control as seasons changed. I switched to tupperware-like plastic containers and bolveda packs about 5 years ago and experienced perfect results, winter and summer. Kudos for a great video.

I enjoyed this video a little bit too much for how simple it was. I'm looking forwards to more of your content.

I agree 100% - since storing my cigar collection in Emsa (for the most part), my smokes are kept in absolutely perfect condition but my only caution to Folks would be to use Boveda to not over humidify. Great video!

Awesome content, nice and short with little fluff.

Great information! Thank you so very much!

Quick update for all you guys... what I do now is keep all my cigars safely stored in tupperware containers just like the video suggested, but since tupperware cannot control heat and plastic can cause the container to get too hot if not careful (which can cause the cigars to crack, or worse, hatch tobaccor beetles... gross!), I put 65% Boveda packs and a hydrometer inside each tupperware container along with my cigars, and then I simply put all the tupperware containers inside a big standard wine fridge (my wine fridge is 25" x 30" and about 3.5ft tall). I then set the temperature of my wine fridge to 68F (20C). I use 65% because I smoke Cubans and they tend to do better with less humidity given how tightly packed the tobbaco is. Good luck gents!

0:40 The Liebherr ZKES 453 Isn't a Wineador, it's actually a very precise electronic cigar humidor. You can set both temperature + humidity and it will do the rest. The Liebherr WTES 1672 is the mentioned wine fridge which only cools and the Liebherr FKv 503-24 is a compact fridge with similar lay-out. My advice: use both. Use a small wooden humidor for presentation when you have friends coming over. Put all different kinds of cigars inside so you and your friends can choose for themselves. Use tupperware to stockpile cigars and once a while when you run out on your humidor or you have friends coming over, replenish from your tupperware. That's how I do it.

Spanish Cedar sheets & Boveda 69s & a hard, sealed plastic container. I have the larger Wooden show cases too, but for aging sticks, can’t beat the Tupperware. Though they do need to be aired out monthly to release fermentation gasses! 👍

I am just getting started in cigar smoking, I wish I would of found your video sooner, I already purchased a Needone 300 capacity electric humidor plus other things. I am to far as far as money invested to change my mind now.

Your argument is solid when it comes to practicality and cost. They are very reliable, inexpensive, and low maintenance. BUT I personally prefer my method: wooden cabinets. Yes, I have paid thousands on my cigar cabinets. I monitor them constantly and find myself tweaking and adjusting, but I personally don't mind it because I consider this part of the enjoyment of the hobby. Besides, while tupperdors are cheaper, my cabinets look much better in my living room.

Great upload. Quick question, will the plastic impact the aging process of the cigars?

Couple questions. Sort of a beginner here, but I was wondering, living here in Michigan it gets pretty cold in my house at times in the winter. do you ever worry about temperature control? Can cigars get too cold? Much appreciated. Love the channel bro.

Zip lock bags does it for ,less space too.But I like the idea 👍

I like the new coolidors

Thanks mate. Keeps me confident in the state of my cigars over time. My tupperdor/boveda game is solid - how can it not be? Lol, too easy. Quick question: how crucial is it to store the T-dor’s somewhere with a very stable temperature? Got mine in an upstairs closet with a temp range of 60-75. Hard to keep anywhere in the house that stable, especially during winter

Great for beginners and veterans alike who want to store their cigars short term. In my opinion, yes, this is very convenient for every day sticks. But. This is not the way you should store your more expensive cigars. Nothing compares to Spanish cedar when it comes to long term storage. If you plan on having a collection, you should definitely invest in some quality wood. I'm not storing an expensive or rare cigar(s) in plastic. I'm definitely not storing my cubans in plastic. Lol. It's not a bad method at all. I have some tupperware as well. There's a huge difference though. If you don't have some kind of air circulation, you risk the quality of your sticks diminishing. I learned this through trial and error. Great video. Stay smokey.

Hi great video, I’ve subbed! Question, how often should I change the Boveda packs?

I agree but for myself I dint have anywhere that my climate is steady enough to keep them stored this way

I use a [1650 protector case on sale for 215 on Amazon at the time] Pelican case but prefer high quality desktop humidors.

I am considering glass airtight jars with Boveda packs, Spanish cedar sheets/strips because glass is inert as opposed to non food grade plastic. I’m basically not into plastics for items I consume or put in my body (when it can be controlled). I’m curious if you and any other viewers have pondered this or have other thoughts and perspectives.

fantastic way to store, keeps the boveda packs a bit longer too.

There's off course a few differences when you use the word "storage". Mainly in the duration of it. You can either store to smoke not too much later. Or you can store to smoke later and have a bunch of cigars to age in the same place. The first is easy, you can even do it in a zip lock bag. But the second one is a whole other story. You can't have full air tightness. You need a very faint stream of fresh air combined with the perfect humidity. That's why the choice of wood is very important. They best option is a decent humidor cabinet. Unless you live in the desert the cooledor is not necessary.

Thanks. Now how can I choose the right Boveda bag. There is a wide selection and I'm confused like for ex they have 8 g , 60 g, 6 g , etc. Thanks

Not to mention for 30 cigars in Tupperware and one single 60g boveda pack last's veery long time, in my wood humidor it would last 2-3 months, I had 50 count humidor and had 3-4 60g in it and they would go rock but in Tupperware they last forever because the seal is just perfect, nothing goes out or in unless you open it

I love my Tupperdors until I got an electric wine cooler and a wooden humidor by MonteCristo.. Now its a distant 3rd. 👉🏾 I use alot of Spanish Cedar inside my Tupperdors. Cedar blocks and Cedar sheets. I shopped Goodwill & found the Wooden humidor for 25 bucks as well as the electric wine coolers $25 each also..

Question: I have Tupperwares but I live in a hot environment (Central California) where it’s constantly in the 90’s to over 100 degrees and the house has A/C but at times it’s not on so where can I stick the Cigars ? The closet or try to find the coldest room in the house or the a fridge that doesn’t work so well ? I’m new to Cigars and I’m definitely on a budget and I just want it about the Cigars at this point and fyi I have a friend who’s going to give a humidor box that holds about 25 cigars pretty soon but it’s the temperature that I’m concerned about since I don’t have a game plan as of yet

How about putting a gasket or something similar to a nice wood humidor? Or instead of plastic, is it ok to use glass Tupperware?

What about glass tupperware with clamp down seals? I have some of those. Would glass tupperware lids be better than plastic to avoid that plastic out-gas smell?

This is what I do but I use the glass ones

I’ve done the same

Should you keep the plastic wrapper off the cigar or leave it on

Would this method work for the whole box of Cigars as well?

It’s definitely superior in terms of humidity. But As a florida Resident it doesn’t help me maintain temp. That’s the reason I’m moving from my tubber ware to a needone coolerdor

Great video. How do you monitor internal temperature? 70f?

I have 3 raching fridges with full boxes, therefore i shifted my remaining cigar boxes into tupperware but whenever i open the tupperware i smell over humidity/plastic smell.. is thing common?

What about the temperature?

A couple of points to boost the discussion. Besides the RH, you have to be lucky enough to live in a place where temps don’t fluctuate much, otherwise you must use a wineador. Your cigars are in direct contact with the container’s plastic, and that’s why people prefer glass tupperware, which are however much more expense. Others actually wrap the box sides with cedar sheets, which seems to be a good compromise (you’ll get them for free at you cigar shop). And then, last but not least, tupperware are usually too small for cigar boxes, meaning that they are always a short term solution, but you can’t use them if you want to age your cigars. I personally use a big plastic container (not air tight), I place my cigar boxes in individual ziplock bags with a Boveda pack 65%, and I store them in my cellar, which is cool all year around.

Where can I find those prints behind you?

What about temperature?

What about glass Tupperware? it seems it would be better, no carcinogens that can seep into your cigars

Wrapped or unwrapped, the cigard that is?

If you was to buy a box of cigars,would you remove them from the original box or would you just store the box in a Tupperware container

I keep Mine just like this and then throw it inside my nice humidor so it looks better behind the bar! 😎 My humidor is for looks only 😂

So how often do you switch out the boveda packs?

How many cigars do you think we can store in each tapperware? I mean 20 each or even 50 all together? Also how many bovenda (8gr or 60gr ) per cigars? Thank you

Does it matter if the Tupperware is glass or plastic, as long as the seal is airtight?

I mean.. yes it’s a great simple way to keep them… but if you’re log term ageing I like how Spanish cedar breathes, distributes the oils, but also as it has thermal capacity and regulates ranging temperatures.. but that’s just me as I have 20 year old both Cubans and non Cubans.. do what vibes with you’re cigars and enjoy the passion.. stay smoky

Hola. Te hablo desde Chile. Cuántos puros puedo tener guardado dentro de un tupper

how often should you burp the containers to rotate airflow?

Only issue is temp in hotter climates.

Doing this for years

What's your thoughts on small vs large Boveda packs?

Mine aren't holding I only have 10 cigars with a 69 humindidty pack

Absolutely agree. Isn't glass a better material in order to not transfer plastic scents to cigars over a long time period tho?

Going to discount your hobby , just because your keeping your sticks in food containers

You are paying too much for both your Tupperware AND your Boveda packs. Dollarama has those containers for $3 each and the Boveda packs start at $6. (You should also add a panel of cedar.

Nothing like locking that plastic Tupperware taste into hundreds of dollars worth of sticks.

Not superior. Not temp control. You’ll have temp swings

maybe so but it's just so damn ugly i would rather not use it. Why not go with an acrylic box?

This is not Tupperware!

i just come back from piñar del rio where i went to the farms and factories where your hundred dollar cigars are made and it only gets the fancy packaging and treatment at the last stage before it goes on the shelf. they spend most of the time sat in the back of a 1960s soviet truck travelling round cuba before it gets a sticker stuck on it and everyone obsesses over 1% of temperature and humidity. i was buying cohibas for 25 cent which tasted as good as the cohibas for 20 dollars

My tupperdore isn't working...69% boveda pack...about as big as the one you're using...what's going on...anyone...
