Good cigar eases the pain of financial modeling
 
Need to pick up a tupperdor for upcoming OBX trip. Tired of bringing a humidor. What size do I need to hold 80-100 cigars and have some room to breathe?

This is what I use, but, I must caveat that to say that the two I have retain WAY more humidity than my cedar humidors. It makes me nervous, honestly.

But, for a short period of time, this seems like a total win.

I'm so insanely new to this, but I'll say I have a lot of tupedors and different humidors and I'm a big data nerd so I track and graph all of this shit. I moved away from tupedors for everything that isn't flavored because when the temp would move around the RH moves a lot and even with bovedas the humidity would spike to high levels. My thought process is that the RH spikes and there is no where for the moisture to go in a tupedor even with a boveda it can't absorb the excess moisture unless it was already fairly far along in it's life. With a humidor the wood can take in that excess and knock the edge off. Also, and this is odd, the boveda being moved through faster it's more likely to be able to absorb some. Maybe this is my crazy theory, but it's what I've been noodling.

^^^This^^^

My two tuperadors simply won’t go below 70% humidity and I hold the same opinion. I’m ditching them as soon as possible as a long term storage option.

65% Boveda and you have to burp them every few months.

I’m using a 65% Boveda bag (the one for like 25 cigars), for a tupperador full of cigars (maybe 70?) and I open it once a month or so. I am doing it wrong.

No, doesn't sound that way. I use one bag per Tupperware and do the same. Leave the lid off for a couple hours. I also have a bunch of cedar liners in with them to hold moisture. They are in my closet and my house is roughly 65-70° year round. Haven't noticed any problems with humidity.
