Dry boxing?

HCM beads can bet set to 50% RH. As the RH creeps up over time they can be reset. It will take a bit of time in your refrigerator to reset them.

So this is my latest awful idea, I'm going to get a Tupperware, put in some baking soda, put a hygrometer in the Tupperware and stick the thing it the fridge, when the humidity stabilizes I'll put a cigar in it and pop the lid on. Then I'll take it out of the fridge and as long as it's air tight I should have a nice little dry box until I open the lid. The baking soda is to absorb funky fridge smells.

I want to try this first because I don't want to go out and build a low RH box for Hawaii when I'm leaving here in April anyway.

If your tupperware seals, there should be no need for the baking soda. It won't get any "funky fridge" smells in a sealed environment.

Better safe than sorry I always say, bakng soda is cheap anyways and I'm thinking it might even help to regulate the RH.
