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 getting the right parts, it looks like all I need is...
1. Round piece of Spanish Cedar to put on the bottom of the jar.
2. Digital Hygrometer with calibration button
3. Humidity tube?
4. Jar, of course
So I guess I have a couple design ideas, even though I know all of this stuff could technically be thrown into a jar and left alone, that's just not how I roll. I'm a clean install kinda guy. I do however still have some questions.
1. Do you have any sources to get Spanish Cedar from? Especially small amounts.
2. Any brand suggestions on a small round Hygrometer? This is what I'm thinking right now, or something like this. http://www.cigarsinternational.com/humidification/38385/hygro-set-adjustable-digital-hygrometer/
3. If I place the cigars in the jar so that the cigars are lined against the glass/acrylic wall and then stick the humidity tube in the center of the jar, does it matter at all if the cigars touch the humidity tube or not?
Thank you all again for your help
