Did you see the uncle Lee deal I posted in the deals thread? 3.50 a cigar plus free shipping on your while order! You're practically losing money if you don't get it :devilspin: :kickbutt:Quote:

These are some old pics, but I thought I'd share anyway.

Here are three of the four wooden boxes I have. The RyJ is on top, then there's a Limited Edition Diamond Crown 150 ct in the center with a vintage Daniel Marshall on the bottom.

Here's one with the Waxing Moon next to the RyJ

Here's my Waxing Moon 50 count. This was one of Ed's first boxes. The seal is super-tight. It's a very stout little fella', weighing around eight pounds.
You may recognize it from the seasoning sticky.

Here are some shots of the winador with Waxing Moon Virginia Wormy Chestnut (now extinct) drawers. The wood for the drawers was a surprise from Ed. I gave him carte blanche to do whatever he wanted. He knows I'm a proud Virginian with a lot of family history here, so I was absolutely delighted when the drawers arrived made from this Chestnut.
Again, older pics. I can't get a greased BB in the thing now and the average age of the sticks inside is probably about 8-9 years. :D

Not much to show off, but you guys have Tupperdors, Winedoors, Cooledoors, Ammodoors...I'm working on setting up an Orange-a-Dor [EDIT: Original name was DryBoxador, but it got confusing because I didn't think of dry boxing, just that it was made of a dry box!], mainly because, well, I have one laying around!
My only dilemma will be whether I buy cedar trays for it or just find another way to stack stuff. I have a few boxes coming, but also lots of singles laying around...

@PhilB I'm hesitant to address this here since I'm loth to hijack the thread, but here goes anyway>
Ummm... the whole idea behind dry boxing is to slowly decrease the moisture content of the stick. By using a vessel with that stout of a seal, it's going to be hard to accomplish this. For this reason, typically we use an old cigar box, or unseasoned humidor. Basically, all you're trying to do by putting it in anything is just protect the cigar from damage while it's drying. Using a cedar box of some sort offers the additional benefit of more uniformed dehydration.
That looks to me like, with the help of some trays, boxes, spills, etc., that container would make an awesome humidor. Don't waste a 65% Boveda on seasoning those spills. You can just spritz them with a mister, or even wipe them with a clean, damp cloth. The only time we need to use more fancy, controlled humidification media is when we need to take precautions against warping.
Hope this helps.
@Herf N Turf : Hahaha...yes, I understand the confusion, as it happened on another forum as well.Quote:

I have since renamed it to Orange-a-Dor to avoid this mess in the future. It is meant to be a spare humidor.
All good, Phil. I kinda suspected that's what you meant, but it also provided a way to pontificate about the differences and purposes in a very high-traffic arena. Hopefully someone will benefit.Quote:

Just a thought.

Nice tuppie set-up, Sean. I'll try to get a pic up of mine, but your biggest tuppie is probably the same size as mine, and that's where 99% of my sticks are - couple boxes, and the rest are singles. It's a PITA trying to find something!
Not sure I ever shared mine. It has bounced around a bit depending on tetris ability and time dealing with it.
First my wife got me this over 10 years ago when I first started looking for cigars. I didn't use it for years then started felling bad it was in the garage under years of dust. Reborn holds mostly gifted cc and a few special cc and a random box of partagas.
Then I got this of craigslist 7 years ago. I used to have several smaller humidors and got tired of trying to keep up with them all.
First 2 shelves are mostly cigars I have been bombed.
From there is what ever and where ever I can fit it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6960d6b7c9.jpgAttachment 8135Attachment 8136https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...81c88f304b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...20af74667b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2c371f79ad.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7ccebdfb6c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ea10184b53.jpg

Tupperdors are nice and airtight so all my bovedas are as plump as the day I bought them and rh is dead on all the time.
Only have the one humidor I had to temporarily bring out of retirement due to a Fuente bomb. To maintain 65% I have to use a 75% boveda, and they don't last long so its obviously not a very good seal at all

Yes, me as well. Almost bought a wood humi early on. Lurking this forum and others gave me some good pro/cons of each - tuppie seemed a much better way to go.Quote:

Sweet humis, Josh. Lots of goodies in there.Quote:

Yeah, tupperdoors are definitely the way to go, especially for the price vs a cheap humidor even.Quote:

Still can be a pain trying to find a specific cigar, but not too bad as all of them but one large one are only about half full.

I assure you there is not as much space as it looks like i use those plastic coated wire trays to hold cigars there are at least 6 in 1 picture you can't see with all the stuff in front of it. The bottom section i have 6-8 more and on top of that black box and coffins si where my kitty litter sits.Quote:

That pink box is filled with Fuentes and I got another box hidden in there with more Fuentes and I got 2 trays in the bottom that are loaded with good sticks.

Even with all I have I still have to occasionally hunt pretty hard and sometimes find something that wasn't in my inventory app for some reason, like the RyJ Short Churchill I ran across recently and smoked
