If you go through cigars like Rambo goes through bullets, you need to get yourself an Ammodor.

Designed and built by a small company in Greensboro, NC, Ammodors are a unique line of cigar humidors made from modified US Military surplus metal ammunition cans. On the outside they look like any old ammo can, but pop open the lid and you’ll realize they’re anything but.

For starters, the lid of each can is outfitted with a rubber seal around the rim, making the box 100 percent waterproof and airtight. Inside the rugged steel casing, you’ll find that the whole interior is lined with precision milled 1/4″ thick Spanish Cedar – the ideal lining for high-end humidors since it naturally repels tobacco worms and mold. It also has excellent humidity absorption characteristics, thereby making it perfect for cigar humidification. In addition to the cedar lining, deluxe models also come equipped with top-of-the-line Xikar humidifiers and hygrometers for long-term accuracy and minimal maintenance.

Ammodor boxes come in a variety of different sizes, and custom designs are available upon request. Check out Ammodor.com for details.

You can always rehydrate a cigar to smoke it, but even so, those natural oils once lost will never return, which means it will never taste the way it should -- you won't have an authentic experience. To make a long story short, you need to care for and store cigars appropriately if you're going to keep them for an extended period of time. Of course, none of this explains just what is a tupperdor?

Bear with me, I'm getting there. The point you need to understand is that cigars must be stored under the right conditions and to do that you prep and maintain a humidor. Inside the humidor, you use either -- or similar gel packs -- or something like a to maintain the proper humidity.
