So, I finally got some empty boxes to throw in my Tupperdor.  Hopefully this thing will show that I can accomplish something... lol!!

Cool, looks good, and a lot of room :biggrin: I just put in the first batch of cigars in mine, which is tiny compared to yours... Getting large airtight boxes seems to be more challenging than one would imagine over here...

It does the job, will probably be filled in no time... As will yours I guess  :shades: I've bought some glass jars that I am going to try out next.

You sure did accomplish something. Good job.

The next thing you'll accomplish is filling it, which always comes sooner than anticipated... more so if you come here often.

Better get a new empty one while there is still time :biggrin:

That's how it's done.  I have 21 Tupperadors and every single one works just as good as my $700 wood humidor...wish I'd known that 15 years ago.

21, that's impressive!  As far as filing it, going to wait a few days to see how the humidity goes, then hopefully throw some sticks in it.

Did you season it? I put a shot glass of distilled water in mine for a few days, to season the cedar. When I had around 70% RH I removed the shot glass and let it stabilize with the humidification device. When the humidity was stable at my target value I put in the sticks.

I just put the boxes in today with the dish of crystals and 50/50 and a boveda, I figured it would take a bit to season, thats just after 11/12 hours

I think I'd put in a shallow dish of distilled water as well, to speed up the process. Then when the humidity is high enough remove it, and let it stabilize.

Well, I am up to 67% now.  Should I wait and see if it levels out before I start using it?  It has been climbing about 2% a day.

What level are you targeting? I would let it rise a bit over that, then remove the distilled water and let it stabilize. Once it's stable, add your cigars in batches; so you don't throw off the humidity. Once it has "recovered"; next batch :-)

I'm thinking around 65/67% would be good.  I guess I will take the DW out and see what happens.

What you want is the cedar boxes to be saturated, so that they no longer absorbs moisture. If 65-67% is your target and you have 67% now I would leave the DW in for longer, let it reach 70%. It's better to leave in too long, than to remove it prematurely.

Ready to go and transferred some sticks over to their new (temporary) home.
