If there is no humidification device in it then yes. You will need beads or an oasis of some sort. This is assuming the jar pulls a seal. It's possible the jar is all show, something for the bookcase not the cigars, in which case you will need a humidor/tupperdor and afore mentioned humidification device.

Check out the inside of the lid. Sometimes humidor jars have a space in the lid to put a humidification device into it. Hope that helps.

You could always use it to throw in your accessories: cutters, lighters, etc

We could not find any humidification device. The seal is very tight, I can hold it by the top and the bottom ain't going nowhere... Here's a pic of it - If I can do it right...

I'm not saying there is a humidification device in the lid rather is there a space in the lid to put one. I have quite a few antique humi jars and most of them have a space in the lid to put something into. People using these jars would take something along the line of a moisten sponge and wedge it into the space in the lid and use that to keep the jar humidified.

Thanks so Much!

Just be careful. With that tight of a seal you could very quickly over humidify the cigars. Use 50/50 when your moistening the sponge.

....or as a lot of the guys around here would do. Soak the sponge in grape Kool-Aid and vowel-la...grape flavored Cohibas!!! :sign:

If keeping in a tight jar, I would use a small boveda.
