Decided to smoke a cigar tonight instead of a pipe, opening the impromptu humidor for the first time in years and it's doing great, thought some of you might like to see it.

The 3/4lb Boveda was hot glued in place, no more faffing about with loose packs, and despite what the manufacturer wants people to believe these can be re-hydrated so this is a permanent solution.
Many of my other "Tubidors" weren't nearly as successful, and this one happens to also look really good.

Do you then remove the cigars and place a container of distilled water in the humidity to rehydrate it? I rehydrate mine regularly (before they start to harden) in a salad keeper with distilled water below a basket which contains the Boveda packs.

I have re-humidified this humidor once (I assume the dry Cigars sucked up all the water).
If I remember correctly my method was to pour distilled water in the lid with the Boveda and then quickly close the container upside down so the cigars didn't spill out.

A smarter way to do it is probably transplanting the cigars while re-humidifying, but in either case I assume Boveda packs will absorb water fastest if they are in direct contact with the water.
