Question
I was wondering if it would be possible to make a "humidor" or at least supplemental storage for flavored cigars out of a old wooden cigar box that has a credo about the size of 50 cent piece?  Also what brand would make a good low cost mild bodied turn to cigar?

Answer
Michael,

Anything that is air tight can be used as a humidor, so if your box seals tight it'll probably work. If it won't hold humidity and you just want something to store these cigars in, use the Credo humidifier in a Tupperware type container and that will work fine.

There are tons of choices of mild, low cost cigars. If you like lightly sweet try Baccarat. Un-flavored try Arturo Fuente Curly Head or Breva, El Credito, or Bock. We have some private label bundles you'd enjoy - try our "Finck Brands Sampler" and you'll get a sampling of 8 different brands (24 cigars total) for under $1.50 each. You can read about the sampler at www.finckcigarcompany.com

Let me know if you have any other questions.
