Tupperdor Q's

1.) import Peruvian red earth. It's about $50/lb but it's the only stuff that'll do the job right.
2.) excavate a large (20 cubic feet or so) hole in your back yard
3.) buy several boxes of Opus X sticks. Throw out the sticks and keep the boxes for step 5.
4.) make a 60/40 mixture of pink Himalayan salt and the red Peruvian earth mentioned in step 1.
5.) place all of your cigars in the Opus X boxes. These boxes are blessed by Tibetan monks before shipment, and blessing will keep them safe during the aging process.
6.) fill the hole in your backyard with a layer cake of the salt/earth mixture and boxes of cigars. Make sure you have a ratio of 3.26 lbs of earth for every box of cigars. Even a slight variation will ruin your cigars.
7.) make sure that the final, top layer of earth and salt is laid down on the night of a full moon. The gravitational pull of the full moon will provide the necessary pressure required to properly, delicately pack the mixture down.
8.) every 4 months place 3 drops of goats blood in a triangular pattern on the top of your backyard cigar agony area.
Follow these steps to the T, and in 20-30 years you will have perfectly aged cigars to enjoy!!
Hope this helps!

What I meant by aging is leaving them for a few years without touching them.
If this is your only humi, and you smoke cigars, you will be opening this up to take a stick or two out at least once a month. If you are opening it once a month or more, there is not need to "burp" or @hakoomay them.
If the boxes are stored in the humi at the B&M they are already acclimated to the proper (or close) RH. If they are stored out if the stores humi then they might be dry. If the later is the case at a few shot glasses of distilled water in the environment (ir extras Boveda packs. The boxed will pull moisture from the easiey source and you cigars should be fine. See Aras instructions above.
Well ara usally when I buy boxes they are already humidified and in shrink wrapped so why the hell would you season already humidified boxes. The reason I am saying to humidify the empty boxes is because b&ms usally don't store empty boxes in their humidors because they are fookin empty so they remove those empty boxes and replace them with full boxes so they can sell more product. So you don't know exactly how long they have been with out humidity. So for the same reason you would season a humidor or you would season shelfing and yes empty dry boxes you get from a b&m.
Let me repost the original question and my answer. @braden please do not be offended because this will be rather sumerized. Original question. I just bought a 56 qaurt tuperdor and would like to utilize it, but I only have two boxes and am having g trouble keeping up the humidity, and do t have the available funds to buy more boxes of cigars. How can I utilize it without buying more cigars. Answer fill dead space with seasoned wood. Please tell me I am wrong ara
What most have said. Go by and ask kendrick (beehive) to give you some empty boxes. Works well for me in my coolidor
