I dunno... There's something fundamentally wrong with picking up a brand new humidor and the first thing you need to do is fix the seals with "food grade caulking"... It sickens me to hear that - kinda like someone purchasing a knock-off Lamborghini and wondering what needs to be done to get Lamborghini performance.
Bottom line - When the humidor costs far less than the cigars it's storing - I'd say it was time to reevaluate the cigar storage situation. I'm not suggesting you need an ungodly expensive humidor, but for a few dollars more you can pick up a decent humidor (similar looking) with real glass and solid seals.
Look - smoking cigars is not like smoking cigarettes. I don't smoke crap, and I really enjoy cigars that are "properly" aged. I can't imagine a $50 humidor will help me to accomplish that. If you can't afford a decent humidor - Unless you like smoking Backwoods or Swisher Sweets - just buying a box to drop cigars in should not be the goal.
Save up for a better quality humidor. Put the cigars in a Tupperware container in the interim. The seal is awesome and it will better protect your investment than a $50 eBay special.
