I am poor but I have a lot of junk around. Can someone tell me VERY basically
what I need to do to make a cheap Humidor? I mean: a wooden box, a plastic
box, in the refrigerator, what? What humidity should I keep my cigars at and
how best to attain that humidity? For instance, if I took a small wooden box
and put a sock containing...corn starch(?) in it...would that do anything?
Again, I have no extra money to spend but would like to do this cheaply and
well. Thanks.

There's alot of good info here.

Coolers and tupperware make great humidors. Keep the humidity around 70%
You can regulate the humidity with Propylene Glycol. Buy some (wet, not
dry) floral foam and use that to soak up a 50/50 mix of PG and Distilled
water. Keep the foam inside your humidor in a small container with lots
of holes for air exchange (like a plastic travel soap dish, or very small
tupperware with drilled holes).

That's my $.02, but you should definitely read the link above and listen
to the veteran ASCers too.

A simple humidor need be no more complicated than a plastic tupperware
container that can be sealed, together with a humidifying device. Pay
particular attention to the 'homemade humidifiers' section on the link
below. It is the key to storing your cigars properly.

Here's a link to the cigar storage information on the JR web site:

My first humidor was a large ziplock freezer bag with a 35mm film canister
(drilled full of tiny holes) with a piece of dampened paper towel stuffed
inside. This works well if you only have a handful of cigars. I then
graduated to a large Tupperware container. Then a couple cheap desktop
boxes, and finally to coolerdors.

Bottom line: Keep it simple.

See FAQs (linked in my .sig) re: cooler-dors & cigar storage/relative
humidity.

It's a bit non-standard, but I sort-a like the cornstarch-sock idea... ;D

Doesn't anyone other than me smell a good-humoured joke here?

Okay, okay ...

Depends on how long you wore the sock.
