Decided to document my attempts to save my situation.
This is my box. There are many like it, but this one is mine. This is the first humidor I ever purchased. It's super cheap. Been with me for several years, and almost as many moves, including 3 states.
This is my box after I emptied it out. The two remaining sticks were two of the worst victims. They will be missed. On the right is a xikar humidity canister to hopefully help lock this box back up to where it once was before moving and some previous wrappers that I keep to remind me which ones I've liked.
Here are my babies. Some are just space keepers that I picked up to help keep the box at ~70* The others are what they are. Some are meaningful, others are not, all are worth keeping.
Here are all of my sticks in their baggies and then in a larger gallon baggie. I went ahead and pulled as much air out of the gallon Ziploc as i could with a straw and then placed them all in the fridge. Ill keep them in there for a few hours before placing them in the freezer for a few days.
Not seen...
I went ahead and dismantled the box pictured above. soaked it in purified liquid made for humidors. Filled my xikar canister to the suggested line shut the lid and am now letting it sit over night. Tomorrow I hope to take the box down to my trusted cigar shop here in Winter Park and see if it's worth resurrecting or if its time to part ways.
Thanks again for the help.
Ill keep you all updated as the weekend unravels.
