Tupperdore General
I need my bums inputs on a question:
If my tupperdore is sitting at 65% solid without humidity packs/accessories inside - is there any concern with leaving the tupperdore without humidity pack/accessories until the RH starts to drop below my desired (62-65) level?
To add, the humidor has had around 50 sticks or so that sat in 70% for 9-10 months. I'm thinking it's the residual hydration, plus some residing in a bit of cedar I have inside, that's keeping it stready without help.

My basement is so humid I dont need humidification all summer. So if its holding fine no worries. If you use 2 way humidification then it doesnt hurt.

Also if it is one of the air tight tupperdor it may hold what ever humidity better. But you will need to watch it as you add or remove sticks that is when it may fluctuate the most.

I have ammo cans converted to humidors that are so tight, I've had the same boveda in them for years. That said, on some BOTL suggestions, I occasionally open the can to "burp" them and get some air exchange.

Good point on the removing/adding. Thanks.

I would say that a two-way humidification device such as a Boveda is always needed. Your ambient RH might be OK now, but that will eventually change with the seasons. Bovedas are cheap--look on Amazon for the 62RH ones. As
@SoCal gunner
said, when used with airtight containers, they're set it and forget. I've never done a recharge of any of mine, however I live in a climate where humidity is high in the summer and that probably naturally recharges them. Might be a different story wherever you live.
When I first got into cigars, I spent so much time thinking about storage and RH. Then I got some plastic containers and some Bovedas and I haven't thought about it since. I don't even have hygrometer anymore. The batteries ran out and I ditched it.

Same here. Tupperdors and Boveda, a match made in heaven.
