They're not diamonds.
Eventually the pores will plug. How long that is, I dunno. I've heard 10+ years out of a pound of beads depending on storage conditions.
At one year, I've noticed they've changed color to yellow along with my cellophane.
The tobacco oils will plug them eventually. Dunno how long that'll take....
I suspect I have a couple years left in my beads, but I built another hybrid humidor and need another 2lbs. My brother in law is about to get bombed back to the stoneage and will need a good amount, and several of you have expressed intereest, so I'm trying to organize a group buy.
