How many pounds should I have for 600 cigars?
The only info I can find on how much to use is based on square space and not the amount of stogies. Which I am sure you already have that knowledge but just in case.
Measure the depth, width and height (example is 24” depth, 36” wide and 48” height)
Multiply the three:
24x36x48=41472 cubic inches
Multiply this by .00185185 (ounces needed per cubic inch); 41472x.00185185=76.799 ounces
Divide this answer by 16 (ounces in a pound); 76.799/16=4.79
You would need 4.79 pounds of Heartfelt Humidity Beads for this humi.
Also from what I have read you can go over the amount needed as it will just equalize even better at what ever the beads are set for.
I have never had a large enough stash nor could afford to acquire such and need a large space like that so I have to admit I am talking out my ass here. I am assuming that this is for humidors and not a wineador and I have no clue if the same is applied.
Just trying to help JJ, I do hope you get it all sorted out.
