New Boy Humi with Crystals Problem

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.

Or you can just put some blocks of spanish cedar which you should be able to get at your local B&M. I have a piece of tupper ware I use for extra storage and I have a few cedar blocks I added . It helps regulate humidity and gives that nice cedar smell.

This is great advice! You might also try some beads from Scott or heartfelt, both work.
