That's right. Even empty glass coffee jars work. You just don't want to leave a sealed glass jar with warm air inside the jar in a cold humid environment or the jar will sweat inside from condensation but most cigars or kept indoors in a controlled environment so that's really not a problem. The idea with wood is it breathes, expands and contracts and less likely to have a condensation issue but yes, it's harder to control.
Great. I use a covered Pyrex (glass) container. Holds about 20 loosely packed. I keep three Boveda 69% packs in it with a hydrometer. It remains at that humidity just fine. I paid 6 Dollars at Wm. I don't see myself changing from glass either.
@@dudestuff1035 i wanted to mention, the cigar def didnt taste as all the other ones did all month, its my favorite cigar and i noticed the difference. is it my humidity? idk. my hygrometer says 69% where i been keeping them the past 3 months
I just switched to glass jars as well after years of struggling with humidity! So easy. Until you buy high quality made humidor, toss those cheap ones!
Does it make a difference if some cigars inside the jar/box are in their plastic or not? Also one of Churchills in the box is inside a small packet within the humidor jar. Is that fine?
Brilliant! This is by far the best way to store cigars - unless you have a really expensive humidor. Excellent video!

Good to hear haha I just did the same thing today 3 69 packs I had and a mason jar 🫡
So you don't need any cedar wood? Just a Boveda pack is alright?
yes
this is your best choice

Great way to look after cigars for very little money, I fell into the humidor trap , found out the hard way !Just lay it on its side.
Yup I did that at first as well lol. Bought a cheaper one off amazon and only had problems with it
You still there....how do you keep glass from getting too cold...and keeping the humidity right.
Dude made a 4min video of an 1min subject, nice
how is it holding up in ways of keeping the humidty level right and how often do you change packs
Still holding up well! Just replaced them a few weeks back. Humidity is still the same for me. Cigars still doing great
Lol I just got mine at a dollar store for $3.50
Yeah it amazes me when people spend $10+ for one off cigar websites
