DON’T DO THIS^
Get some of these.
Choose any RH that you prefer. They control the RH with a two-way process that will either absorb or release water depending on the need of the container. Also, some people recharge them with distilled water. I haven’t tried that yet.
Get a pack of the item below. Put 2 of them in a sealed container (like for food) with the card. Monitor it over a day or two and it will come out flat. I’ve done this with dozens of cards by this point.
Boveda 69% RH 2-Way Humidity Control – Restores & Maintains Humidity – All In One Solution For Humidification- Patented Technology for Cigar Humidors – Convenient & Versatile - 4 Count Resealable Bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004LHSOBK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_G86EWD0GWM4XBSE4N34F
So in my experience it can store up to around 75 depending on the length/ring gauges. With Boveda recommending 1 60g packet for every 25 cigars then a 4 pack will do nicely.
Make sure you get some distilled water to recharge them instead of constantly buying new ones. It’ll save you money in the long run.

Yeah so just buy some of these 69% Boveda packs and just follow these instructions: https://bovedainc.com/can-i-rehydrate-cigars/
Die hier dann richtig?
At a bare minimum I would say get a Boveda humidity packet, and an air tight container. Here’s a couple links for what I would get at a minimum:
Rubbermaid Brilliance Container
You can buy the Boveda packs at any Cigar Shop they all sell them. The Boveda packs last for a couple months. Cost $4-$5.
The Rubbermaid containers can be found at Target. They work really well. Beyond that just keep them out of sunlight when you store them. Cost $10-$12.
That’s a bare minimum. Good luck.
Put the cigars in Tupperware until the humi is seasoned, otherwise you will over saturate them. Order Boveda 69's for wooden humidors, nothing else needed.
Sorry, meant to link the bovedas too. You need the 60g size for maintaining a humidor. Amazon to me, usually has the best prices.
this or something like this would be great. Bovedas from Cigarbid.com or Amazon
Why not grab them online?
Here's a 4 pack
If you like I could set up a little sampler for you to help you get back into the swing of things. :)
Other than the cigars, a tupperdor is perfect and cheap. Humidity can be provided by Boveda packs.
If you like, I could do the sampler and include some Bovedas...
You don't need a humidor. You just need a tupperware container that will seal tight and a boveda pack, e.g. one of these
That will keep the humidity fine for your cigars. If you want to spend $10 extra you can get a cheap hygrometer so you'll know the pack is working properly.
With that you're pretty much set, buy em and keep em in there till you want to smoke.
