Thank you very much for that. That makes perfect sense. I will be sure to get a lower pack.

Yes my wife got the jar from Walmart, not sure if I mentioned that. Well my local shop only had the 72's and he said that's what he recommended, so being new in the hobby I figured I couldn't argue with the man. :) I also only placed in on my computer for the pics. It actually stays tucked in my...

The moment you all have been waiting for ever so patiently. Nothing special, but it will/should work for many cigars huh? :)   Thats the Padron 2000 I was told to try. :)  

Well I took some pics but I am unable to post them at the moment. I would say she delivered though. It was a plastic container so I let it sit in the window with soap water in it. I changed the water out once. I current have a 72 Boveda Pack in it and a Padron 2000 that he had recommended to me...

LOL...thats funny. Well I did tell her last night I want to be able to hold 10. That should be plenty for one jar. ;) We will see how she did when I get home. :)

Well I don't know how often this happens in here, but my wife and I were talking last night about her finding a jar for me today. The funny thing is I don't know that she is completely on board yet with my new hobby. Well she called me on my lunch break to let me know she "found the perfect...

Not sure what I should do to do a first clean. Any suggestions?

Do you need to air it out every few days? I guess I wasn't even aware you'd have to. If you do, I wonder if you could just put the lid down without actually locking it to create a seal, if that would be good enough? What would you be cleaning the jar out from, if you did have to clean it out?

FYI, being a security IT guy, there is a little something called PCI-DSS. This is for all (small or big) credit card accepting companies. I make no claim to know the ins and out of all the security standards as I am still earning my bachelors in Information Security, but I do believe it is also...

I wasnt sure if the rest of the stuff still needed to be in there or not with the Boveda Pack. Should I not have something in there though showing me though that the temp/humidity IS where it should be though?

All that information is very awesome. Thank you all for your help with getting this figured out. Well, like I said, I have come across the Boveda Packs and they are quite affordable. I think I may have to see if my local tobacco shop carries everything I need, besides the jar i'm sure, to...

Well I figured a tube would be less cumbersome and I had a good idea, I think?, too keep it away from the sticks. So this does raise some other questions.   1. Does the Boveda Pack have to be completely exposed? I only ask because if not, perhaps I could take it and stick it under the round...

1. Well, because I am completely new to the cigar hobby, I don't have any old cigar boxes laying around. Perhaps I can craigslist one or something. 2. I have been seeing alot of the Caliber 3 or 4. Do those come in a round version too? 3. Ill be sure to play it safe and make it so the tube...

Thank you very much. I will be sure to keep that in mind.

So I have been doing A LOT of reading on making a humidor out of a jar. It does not seem that it matters if it is acrylic or glass and in both cases they have a locking lid. Anyway, this seems like a great money saving idea for a humidor and a fun little project. Now just to make sure I am...
