The "Show Off Your Humidor" Pics thread

[PhilB]

@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.

I called it DryBoxADor because it was a humidor made from a dry box, like Ammodor, Turperdor, etc.... I didn't think of the defined term of "dry boxing" in the cigar world!

I have since renamed it to Orange-a-Dor to avoid this mess in the future. It is meant to be a spare humidor.
