wbslngr...If you are REALLY just starting out then either get yourself a real humidor, at least a 50 count, or just go buy a small cooler, aka an igloodor. The coolers are the easiest to make into a humidor. You just get a humidifier or make one out of the green oasis from a florist shop and you are there. Of course you can put some spanish cedar in it for ambiance and aroma, this is not actually required. Use a 50/50 solution and it will keep at 70% humidity.
As most of us started out with just a few cigars and ended up with several humidors and igloodors my advice to you is "think big" now....69
