I second the idea of storing your cigars in a box inside the tupperdor. A cabinet or SLB(Sliding Lid Box) is preferable to a dress box. Dump the pine shelf, pine is very aromatic, spanish cedar boxes are preferred. You should be able to get a box at your local shop. Depending on the type of crystals, you may have gotten them too wet. Take them out and let them dry a bit. Be sure you have the type of crystals that will absorb as well as release humidity. Once you have things stabilized you will need to open your tupperdor once a week or so.
