Tupperdor Humidity

WolfHunter909_

I'm looking to get a Tupperdor setup going because I'm currently using a Perdomo 5 pack humidified travel pack..So do I use 65% or 62% and how many packs for a Brilliant 9.6cup Tupperdor ??
Also what's your thoughts on using the plate setup??

Rdp77

62 or 65 is personal preference. What are the 75s for??
And if you’re using 60gram one is plenty but it won’t hurt to throw in two.

And as far as the plate… that’s just fluff that takes up space. They’re used to let air circulate, but in a tupperdore there isn’t any air circulating in the first place.

That's was just the display pic of the plate and that's what they showed.. The reason I asked on what humidity to use. Is because I here conflicting information on what the final humidity will be on a sealed container with 62,65,and 69 percent??

Good point ☝️ I never thought of that and it's really just for show.. Otherwise I was going to grab the cedar or metal pack holder and mount it on the lid ??

You’re hearing so much conflicting information because it is rh which is relative humidity. It’s relative to the temperature where they are storing it so it will be a few tics different from person to person. It’s all personal preference. You gotta figure out what works best for your situation. Don’t worry about +/- 5 on rh either. If you’re using a hygrometer they’ll read different even after calibration. Just throw a couple boveda in that box, keep it out of direct sunlight, at a fairly stable temperature, and don’t worry too much about it.

I used a similar container with 65% and I was happy with the results.

There ya go, keep things stable, don't rock the boat, everything is happy

I bought a cooler and a case of 62 boveda's about a decade ago. I dumped all the bovedas in the cooler, and I have never had to adjust anything since. Ignore all the articles. It's not overly complicated.

Dont mix the different rh packets. I stored some 65s and 69s in a ziploc. I came back to very hydrated 65s and drying out 69s.

Thanks for the advice and will keep that in mind

Right now I'm running 65% and running high so I plan on switching over to 62% instead thoughts ??
What's your thoughts on Govee sensor ??

Yakster

It'll run a bit higher in plastic than in a wooden humidor.

ShawnOL

Zederkoff is the only sensor I trust.

Vision

Why is a hygrometer needed in a tupador?? How do you know it’s “running high”? Maybe what ever you used to measure it is off.

Take a 65 Boveda, place in tupador filled with cigars….. never think about it again.

I have two govee sensors and they have worked great for me. I put one in my Tupperware and it essentially lets me know it’s sealing properly and I have the other one in my cooler where I’m seasoning trays at the moment but after I’m dialed in they don’t do much. I’ll probably get a wooden desktop humidor in the future that looks a little nicer in the front room and would absolutely want it for that.

Is it worth putting a piece or 2 of Spanish ceder to bring down humidity a bit and for aroma"

OmgFrigginMike

I don’t have any experience with that so I’ll let somebody else take this one.

TRayB

I don't have much experience either, but a few thoughts come to mind:

• Once the cedar reaches the ambient humidity level, it won't bring it down any more.
• Spanish cedar is non-aromatic.
• Why would you want to add external aroma to your cigars.

ShawnOL

Yes, Spanish cedar will have aroma. It's not needed but go ahead if it floats your boat. The point is to have stable humidity for the cigars. Boveda and an air-tight container will provide this.

I use the Govee in much larger tuppedores. Mostly for summertime here in California is only time I pay attention to them. However, my 65 (used for most of my cigars) and my 62 (for out of country cigars and aging [really cigars I let sit for long periods of time]), don’t really fluctuate much, the visual just gives me piece of mind.

Now in a tower is a different story because I’m using a traditional humidifcation device. Temp/humidity fluctuates more which just means I have to be much more hands on. I also use it in my wineador (not plugged in).

In short, wineador (unplugged) and tuppedore, throw in the bovedas and forget about it.

The plan is get it calibrated and set it and forget it.. I'm changing over to the 62% which will give me around 65% or so..

I just picked up the Govee Bluetooth version for right now so I can keep an eye it..

Later down the road when I have alot more cigars then I will definitely follow your advice ..Thank you

But if you put in a 65% Bov and it fluctuates between 63-67% what’s the problem? It’s very simple. Buy Boveda, never worry again. That’s it. That simple. Are you going to buy a Chinese Hygrometer and trust your cigars to something that can be WAY off? Sure get it “calibrated”…. And you’ll still trust 73 cents worth of Hygrometer to stay accurate? Over thinking it.

I understand now and still learning.. Now it's just finding more cigars to try 😁

YES!

Everyone here has overthought all this stuff before. It's a fun process. The most fun is when you get to admonish newbs for overthinking it after you're sure you know everything.
