Looks great, Fuzzy!
I'm contemplating a Tupperdor this Fall after the salmon & steelhead runs end and the sun disappears.

The salmon are safely tucked away in my freezer, so I completed my "humidor" project. wchnu's humidor and cigar stand are a much nicer set than mine, but here are the components of my Tupperdor: - large (11" x 7.5" x 3") Rubbermaid Brilliance self-sealing food container from Wal-Mart
- 3 cedar rings (for coat hangers) from a "Mainstays" 12-pack, also from Wal-Mart
- Boveda 72% humidification pack from the non-snooty tobacconist in the area, taped to the lid in order to save space
- Humi-Care beads, 4-ounce jar, also from the non-snooty tobacconist (two-ounce jars are available)
- small, silver, analog hygrometer
The lid of this container was manufactured with an excellent rubber seal, and the hygrometer indicates a constant 72% humidity. Three of the twelve cedar rings in the container add just enough cedar aroma. One of the fellas at the friendly tobacconist recommended both a Boveda pack and Humi-Care beads. Even with my penchant for redundant systems, this may be overkill--especially the 4-ounce-size Humi-Care jar--but it does not significantly restrict capacity (at least for me). Also, 72% humidification may have been helpful when I lived in the Rockies, but perhaps it is excessive in an area where we can watch things rust. It is great to finally be able to buy and store cigars, then smoke them when it suits me, rather than driving to the tobacconist when the weather forecast and my schedule converge. Cheers, fellas!

Sounds great!! I love those Boveda pouches. I got away from the Humi beads awhile back. They do work well though. It is nice to be able to store a few sticks for when you want one without driving. How many do you thing you can hold at a time?

This configuration would contain 30 or so, but I could perhaps cram 50 in there without the beads.
