How long is it safe (flavor and freshness wise) to keep cigars in a ziplock bag with a water pillow or humi pack?
IMHO Beware of long term exposure with water pillows. They over humidify your sticks. I tested them myself. However, Boveda packets are the way to go. You could keep sticks with a boveda for a long time. Might not enhance the flavor but it won't hurt either.
Just wanted to add that some cigar nuts like to put their cigars into long term storage by sealing them in vac lock bags after properly humidifying them in their humidor they don't even put in a boveda pack.
A cheap friend of mine has used those gallon sized freezer bags with a digital hygro and kept his cigars in it with one pillow..works like a charm and he's never bought a humidor or tupperware and keeps the bags in his cedar chest.

LMAO! thats good to know! lol Im not doing it to be cheap though. Im doing it cause i have a friend who i want to gift my small humi to. He just started getting into cigars and i wanna give him a home for his smokes! lol so i have some backup while im waiting to whittle down my inventory. lol
I am of firm belief that you can keep cigars in just about anything for as long as you like as long it has a tight seal and is free from any chemicals or odors.
