Any of you folks still use a traditional humidor for pipe tobacco?
Mason jars don't count.

I do have a couple glass jars, one confectionery and one that was an unused 2 gallon pickle jar. I just need to attach a couple humidthingies to the lids |

I have several. The ones that still have a humidity stone are adequate for blends I am actively smoking.

I tried using the one in my dad's pipe rack, but the tobacco dries out way too fast. I do use a "tupperdore" as the cigar guys call it, which is no more technologically advanced than a tupperware container with some humidification packets in it. It's great for all the plastic bags of samples I've accumulated.

Yes,I have three of them and am always having to rehydrate the tobacco.
Two of them have the clay button but's a "Pipe Dream".

I use a Tupperware-type plastic food container. It's made by LUSTRO WARE "KEEPER Flexible Sealware...#B-817
It holds about 2+ lbs. of tobacco, and it stores easily in a drawer. Rectangular shape helps save space. I bought in the "Container Store"/White Plains, NY .....$7.49.
It's perfect.

at that time i think most smokers only amoked one blend, so they filled up the humidor on their rack and everything was in one place ready to go. there is too much to chose from today, lol. i do have my eye on a rack with humidor, but i would most likely use it for storing pipe cleaners, etc.

I bought one of those old pipe racks that hold 6 pipes and has a jar built in. I have never used the jar as the tobacco would just dry out. Back in my cigar days I had a fairly large humidor but I never put pipe tobacco in it because I kept my cigars at 65 degrees and 62 percent humidity. That is way too humid for pipe tobacco.

No humidor for me.
All of my tobacco’s are either in tins or mason jars inside an antique buffet cabinet and Ann antique armoire with drawers... since the house stays at about 70 degrees year round, I think I will be fine.
Good to see you on here cigarmaster!

I have a cigar humidor I keep at 60-70% humidity which I never considered using for pipe tobacco until now. I was thinking of maybe keeping open tins inside the humidor. |

I use 65% Boveda packs in tupperware boxes, but I leave the ziploc bags/tins closed. It's probably not even necessary to add the Bovedas, since the ziploc and tupper seals combined would likely prevent any drying out. Peace of mind, though. It works great. |

I have 22 pounds of bulk in a Rubber Maid plastic/lid container. I hydrate it with a 1/2 gallon, opened, bottle of water. It has maintained freshness for over 10 years now.
Got the idea from Jack Peterson of Sterling tobacco, who suggested it, albeit in a smaller container.

That's way too high of humidity for storing pipe tobacco. Cigar humidors are not appropriate for pipe tobacco. Pipe tobacco needs lower humidity. |
