1. A cigar box will work fine.
2. Nope, that's why it's called dryboxing.
3. That is where you can experiement. It can be anywhere from a few days to a week or two.

I use a small desktop for a drybox and I'll keep cigars in there for up to two weeks depending on how wet the cigar is. The rh in there stays 45-50%.
