Peter made some very good points here -- there is nothing to regulate in an empty tupperware humidor so your humidity will be out of wack. In tupperware there is no wood to absorb the excess moisture so it stays in the air. Put your cigars in there and check them in a week or two. Yes, a week or two.

Next, everything takes time. A little patience goes a long way. Your cigars will not change overnight -- they need lots of time to absorb or give off moisture, ammonia, hydrocarbons. Give them time.

Finally, cigars are much more resiliant than people give them credit for. If the RH is too low or too high for a few days or a week (or even longer) -- it won't harm them. And, once the RH is corrected your cigars will come back around (slowly as always) and be fine.
