So, I'm a pipe smoker, and at the moment I've got most of my bulk reserved in mason jars and the tins clear containers, all vacuum sealed thanks to a food saver thing the wife wasn't using.

They're all in a cooler closet, it's the south, nothing's ever really cool for very long and basements are kind of rare around here.

Lately I've noticed some of the bulk getting a bit dry and I picked up some moisture packs to go in temporarily but I'm wondering if there's something more I should be doing?

I've considered a humidor but I think I'd need a couple honestly.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Make a glass encased shelved humidor. Right beside your glass encased gun rack.

The idea's come up, had thought to mortise & tenon the sides, made a scalloped pedestal around the base and line it w. spanish cedar.

Then I remembered I suck at wood working and really need my fingers.

But still, it's an idea with merit, I have the equipment from my dad's shop, just not the skill (yet).

I asked in another comment below, do you find that a humidor actually brings all that much to the equation, or is it just decorative equipment?

Also, why glass? I thought sunlight was the enemy of aging tobacco?

You go into a cigarshop and they have the walk in humidors. And tinted store shop windows. It's more of an asthetic thing. You can make a shady part of a house or room where you always have the curtains drawn. I would say decorative side. Sealing with a humidor pack would be just fine, in those jars you were talking about.

Fair points all.

I think, from a comment thread above, I may go with a pelican case as an intermediate and either buy or build a humidor for longer term storage.

Thanks for chiming in, it's been very helpful!
