I am REALLY happy with my Pupperdor, this thing is great!
I got into cigars two years ago during a trip to Havana. When I got back to the USA, I bought a basic $30 cedar humidor off of Amazon. It had a pretty weak seal and a hard time holding proper humidity. Then I tried to overcompensate with too much humidity and started noticing traces of mold. Eventually through trial and error, Boveda humidity packs worked best, but dried out quickly with my setup (so more $$). Too much babysitting and too much expense, so I gave up on properly storing the cigars after about a year, and most dried out while some others stayed fresh in ziploc bags.
Recently I was looking into setting up my own tupperdor (tupperware-humidor) solution, and came across the Pupperdor while searching Reddit for advice. I did a TON of homework and comparisons and figured this product was about the same price as what I could put together myself, but this looked like higher quality cedar shelves that fit the container better. It was also more efficient with the space - the shelves hold more, and fit better.
I ordered the Pupperdor with 2 shelves and 65% Boveda packs - no hygrometer, my cheap analog one actually works great. Shipping to WA was quick. I let the four 65% packs sit with the cedar for two weeks, to 'season' and even everything out. Then I added about 60 cigars that were a mix of very dry to well seasoned (in the ziploc bags with Boveda)... everything from $2 sticks to Cohibas from Havana. I keep this in my closet where temperature and light changes won't impact the cigars.
I gotta say, I am SO impressed with this setup. The humidity holds steady at 67-68%. Anything from 65-68% is ideal for me - at 70% it's harder to keep the cigar lit. Airtight seal. No mold issues. The Boveda packs are holding up well. The older, dried out cigars have really come back to life. And the smell when you open this setup is amazing.
This really is a high-quality solution that I wish I had found sooner. If you're not spending well over $100 on a tightly sealed cedar humidor, this is the ideal solution for your cigars. Thank you to the seller! read more
