I agree with the Ziplock baggy or Tupperware container method.
JMHO, but if its in an air/watertight container, there is no need to place a moistened paper towel in the container as there is no way to regulate the humidty.
They can last a couple weeks outside of a humidor if they are kept sealed well in like a ziplock bag. One thing would be to keep them in large jar with the lid on tight. To keep the humidy right, put a cap with about a teaspoon of salt in it, and a couple drops of water on it. Whammo, home made humidor. Don't over do it, you don't want to make everything wet and moldy.
Oh yeah, keep the jar covered or in a dark place. Light bad.
I have a big Tupperware container that I use. It keeps the moisture in and is big enough I can put a paper towel that been slightly moistened on one side and a meter so i can measure humidity. It's a cheap fix and doesn't break the bank. By the way, I keep the humidity at 70%.
