Ideas For A Car Humidor.........
I've got several travel humidors and even a desktop that I'm not using but I want to keep some cigars in my car over long periods of time. It seems (like yesterday for instance) that I want a cigar and don't have one with me. Any ideas on a permanent solution to this dilemma? I'm thinking maybe the humi-bags that Fuente sells would work.

IDK about you, but my car gets WAYYYYYYYYYYY too hot to keep cigars in. I won't even leave them in there for a few hours.

You'd need a cooling system...

You'd need a good cooling system which would mean good insulation as well.
I'd say just carry a small travel humidor or pocket humidor around with you. You can keep it in your purse.

Now that I see this, it occurs to me that I have (and have never used) a small thermo-electric cooler that plugs into the car lighter. I bet this thing could be made into a nifty little humi pretty easily. Hmmmm ......

Yea my car gets way too hot.... I used a travel one looks like a shotgun shell wrapped in leather with a humi and hygro built in.
I've been using it for a few weeks and really like it. http://www.cheaphumidors.com/Merchan...roduct_Count=9

I too subscribed to the too hot theory, but recently I started keeping a travel humidor in my car. It has thick cedar on the inside and a humidification device. I usually keep the cigars in there for at the most a week and they have been fine. I notice that the ones in there the longest seem to be a little drier but not too bad. I also try too keep it under the passenger side seat so it is out of direct sunlight.

A small well insulated cooler, with a small humidor inside, and an icepack.
Not how well insulated those thermoelectric coolers are?? You could put a second battery, or one of those battery car jump starters to power the cooler. It'd charge when you drove and run at the temperature setting you need while parked. Assuming you can set the thermostat on those, if not that would be a mod.
