No, doesn't sound that way. I use one bag per Tupperware and do the same. Leave the lid off for a couple hours. I also have a bunch of cedar liners in with them to hold moisture. They are in my closet and my house is roughly 65-70° year round. Haven't noticed any problems with humidity.

The cedar liners is something I haven’t done. Let me try that.

I'm so insanely new to this, but I'll say I have a lot of tupedors and different humidors and I'm a big data nerd so I track and graph all of this shit. I moved away from tupedors for everything that isn't flavored because when the temp would move around the RH moves a lot and even with bovedas the humidity would spike to high levels. My thought process is that the RH spikes and there is no where for the moisture to go in a tupedor even with a boveda it can't absorb the excess moisture unless it was already fairly far along in it's life. With a humidor the wood can take in that excess and knock the edge off. Also, and this is odd, the boveda being moved through faster it's more likely to be able to absorb some. Maybe this is my crazy theory, but it's what I've been noodling.

^^^This^^^

My two tuperadors simply won’t go below 70% humidity and I hold the same opinion. I’m ditching them as soon as possible as a long term storage option.

Adding a bit of cedar makes a big difference, especially if you're tuperador is small or not full of cigars. When I had my wineadore (same concept, all plastic), I kept several cedar liners in there in addition to the cigar boxes. Gives the moisture somewhere else to go to besides the cigars.

Yeah. Boveda does some stuff that will fit into a tupedor to class up the packs and someone even does wooden holders specifically sized for fitting the Rubbermaid brilliance container so many people use.

Also of note is just how little “wood” is actually in most humidors. Cedar lined, sure. But under that, mostly MDF.
 
Took out a Johnny-O for the pass and couldn't resist lighting one up lol

Yep except Spectrum turned off ESPN and ABC due do a dispute with Disney. And UNC plays Gamecocks in Charlotte on game day Saturday on ABC. Boo!

It’s been a long time since I have been humidor shopping but, after a good 2 decades, mine is not sealing/maintaining humidity like it should anymore, so I wanted to see if anyone has any hands on recommendations for medium desktop boxes (about 100 stogie size). Thanks for the info.

This thing is kinda cool. I'm more fancy/flashy, but it's also got quite a good seal. It used to be made by Boveda but now this company actually has the rights to make them.

~300ish you can get these on sale if you wait a bit. Shipping would be a bitch but I've got a black one I'd sell you if you are interested.

Go here and buy a daniel marshall for well below retail, the 'flaws' are marginal at worst apparently, even though the stuff that is built into the lid sucks awfully:

This thing is amazing, you can get two Z60s for way less than half this price:

Do you have budget for custom? Get a waxing moon and it will be the last you ever buy.
