Reddit reviews IRIS USA, Inc. UCB-LDD WEATHERTIGHT Storage Box, 74 Quart, Clear

Plenty of people use tupperdors/coolerdors for long term storage. There's nothing wrong with it.

There's also nothing wrong with storing the cigars loose, as opposed to in the boxes. If this makes them all fit in your existing tupperdor, go for it.

You can also just get a bigger tupperdor. I use one of THESE and am perfectly happy with it.

You can also go with a large 'igloo'-type cooler if you deal with crazy temperature swings in your house.

Spanish cedar helps to stabilize humidity a little bit but its' not a magic material. Your bovedas are going to do more to maintain stable humidity than the spanish cedar ever would.

Wineadors are nice for maintaining stable temperature... unless your power flickers. Most of them automatically reset to the lowest temperature setting when they turn back on from a power failure. You'd be wise to purchase a cheap UPS battery backup to run your wine cooler on, if you go that route.

Most of the hardcore collectors I know do not go the fancy route for storage. Large tupperdors and coolerdors with bovedas are far more common. They do just as good a job for long term storage, and allow you to spend the extra money on cigars instead of fancy storage containers.

Possibly. It has more to do with moisture clinging to the outside of the filament. Nylon actually absorbs water, so you need to keep it super dry all the time. PLA is the least affected of common materials, but it will still suffer performance issues because of this.

My advice is get an airtight container/box and get a big pail of desiccant off of Amazon. Dump a bunch into the container so you have about an inch of desiccant on the bottom. Then just put your spools in their and keep it shut unless you need to get a different spool out. This can recondition material over the course of a week as well. Nylon would probably need a professional dryer of some sort, similar to what injection molding companies use to dry their plastic pellets before using them. I haven't had to dry nylon yet, but I would think that's what you'd have to do.

They do make airtight tubs. They are expensive though...

I use them to store cigars where the humidity must be controlled.

this gives you another 4" of height

or this gives you another 7"

I would recommend the 74qt tuppedor and trays from the Container store. You could definitely put a humidor or two in it.


You can find the 74qt for cheaper on Amazon but the trays only come from the container store. $24 right now as I looked it up.

To store bulk I bought a sealable crate on Amazon for 20 bucks and 40 dollars worth of Spanish cedar planks. The thing cam probably hold 1000 cigars.

I use a sponge in a large bowl with solution for humidity. I don't know why I didn't do this years ago and saved a lot of money.

Cigarobsession recommended this container and I've been happy with it. If I could do it over again, I'd get one about 1/2 or 2/3 the size.


It's a bit big for a casual.


I'm using humidity beads in that chicken salad tub and they work perfectly. $16 for the container and $4 for the beads and you've got a full setup without any real financial commitment.

Almost 5%, donno if I can trust them. Let’s see. I got the Sistema box from Amazon, don’t like it at all. It’s so thin and delicate. Returning it and getting this IRIS 74 Quart WEATHERTIGHT Storage Box, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PKNWVZY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_M-ceAbYMJC0A0
