So I store the cigars that wont fit in my humidor in a tupperware with a lid. inside is have 1 boveda packet 60g, 69% but the hydrometer reads at 78% which is asking for mold. Now I have 2 60g 72% packets in my humidor and it reads at a perfect 72% humidity. Im not sure what to do about the Tupperware asI dont want the cigars inside to get moldy or be to humid and not stay lit

maybe put a partially dried out 69% boveda in the tupperware to suck up some of the extra moisture.0

Can I safely assume that you wouldn't be posting those humidity percentages if you weren't positive the readings are accurate because you calibrated the hyGrometer."I could've had a Mi Querida!" Nick Bardis2

correct. Even further I put the same hydrometer in my humi and it gives the expected reading of 72% which where i try to keep it with 72% boveda but the tupperdor have lower percentage boveda and are reading almost 105 higher0

Nice to know your hyGrometers are accurate.
Are these new Bovedas, or ones that have been recharged?
I'd suggest taking the Boveda out of the Tupperware for a day or three and see what happens."I could've had a Mi Querida!" Nick Bardis1 -
