I hate to admit this, but with all the points you make, it's a hard argument to win. The tupperware route certainly takes the cake in both the effective and the low maintenance categories. If I'm being honest with myself, while smoking the cigars is certainly the best part, I think part of the enjoyment comes from the humidor too. It's pretty cool when a friend comes by and sees it because it always starts a conversation. Either he's never been over before and so he asks about it, or he enjoys the hobby too and we end up talking about it for a bit. And, I enjoy looking at them myself. Part of the enjoyment comes from looking at them and looking forward to smoking them. I know this probably sounds pretty corny. I guess at the end of the day I will do what works, I'm just hoping I can make this work. I'm okay if it takes more effort than the minimum necessary, but obviously there is a threshold too. At some point I will move on to a different storage method, but I just don't think I'm there yet. Don't get me wrong I'm not discounting your advice I truly believe you are right, but what can I say I guess I'm stubborn. You can all tell me you told me so later.

Fair enough, thanks for the help. Now that I read up on that, something that isn't talked about in there; once they turn orange, do they still turn clear when hydrated?

I guess what I'm asking is can you still look at them and tell a difference between hydrated ones and ones that need to be hydrated?
