@Vangheluwe1993 Too many to mention. You can purchase a wood humidor, or make one out of tupperware or a cooler. Check my website under "Building your own." Cuban Crafters has some reasonably priced humidors, so does Cheap Humidors.

Doc,

You certainly have a great collection. Obviously it's taken you a long time to acquire all the cigars and boxes... Approximately how many boxes of cigars do you currently have? I enjoy listening to your videos, not only because you're one of those guys I could listen to for hours but because as a new cigar enthusiast it's great to be able to find someone to aspire to be like. You must smoke every day or every couple days right? Living the dream! Thanks and keep the videos coming!

@jmwcnc Hi Jordan. Thanks for the kind words. I probably have around 3,500 cigars.I usually smoke 1-2 cigars per day, but not every day. I will skip 1 or 2 days per week.

Doc, how long does it take you to refill all the humidification devices in all those humidors you own?

[docstogiefresh]

@banzai108 I try to keep them on the same timeline, but sometimes it is impossible. Usually I will check every 3-4 weeks, but will normally refill every 1-3 months.Some are easier because I use Boveda packets, others require distilled water and other require a mixture of distilled water and PG.

Wow, that's pretty innovative.

[ohzmigod]

quite the collection, and the wine cooler converted into a humidor was a great idea. im looking forward to your next videos.

What a lovely mouthwatering collection you have there,and a very nice narration too.One thing you have hardly any Cuban cigars cigar in your collection except the 2 or 3 you mentioned........what's up Doc.

Give me some of them cigars please lol

[docstogiefresh]

@TomorrowLIves The cigars are the correct humidity coming from the factory, so if you keep them in their boxes, there is very little air exchange and change in humidity. If the humidor is the proper humidity, there will be no driving force to lose humidity. That is, if the box was properly humidified, but the humidor had 29%RH, then there would be a driving force to push humidity from high to low. But if there is equilibrium between the humidity in the humidor there should be no loss.

[jmwcnc]

@docstogiefresh That's great. I'll be buying my first humidor soon, but unfortunately I don't have the space or income to buy boxes and boxes like I want to. Hopefully someday I'll be able to acquire some neat pieces like you have, but frankly I don't know how you don't at least try at least some of those! You must have more willpower than I could ever have, haha. Thanks again.
