  • Extreme Enviroment Humidor Help

     06-22-2009, 1:20 PM

    Hello all, this is my first post but I have a pretty big issue. I am currently deployed in Iraq and am having trouble keeping my cigars "healthy." I am wanting to just break down and order a humidor and have it shipped to me, but since I cant inspect one hands on I was hoping that someone could point me in the direction of one that will fit my need. I just need a small one that doesn't cost too much (since it stands the chance of being beat up) but it needs to do a good job. Any help on this issue would be much appreciated, thanks.

    Thanks, I will look into that one. As far as the durability goes I am not too concerned because it only really needs to get me through this deployment.

    its so dry out there, you may need to switch over to something that seals a bit tighter than a wood box. i would look into a tupperware are a cooler.

    Greetings from FOB Delta. I picked up a humidor while I was in Baghdad from one of the haji's in the bizaar for 80 bucks and it holds up great with a constant 67 to 70 % RH. If your FOB has haji shops they can usually pick one up for you. Just a little insight for finding one localy and cheap.
