I had been using Propylene Glycol and a sponge to humidify my cigars from the very start of my cigar smoking days which hasn’t been too long. I had always had a fluctuation of relative humidity in my humidor and assumed it was a fact of life and it was something I was going to have to deal with. Along with that came constant wondering to what was happening inside the humidor. There were times I was leaving the lid cracked, while at other times burping the box anywhere from 1 to countless times per day. That was just during the summer months. The winter months provided equal amounts of fun. Ahhhhh.

I decided to listen to the advice of others on the web who were talking about beads. The reports were pretty glowing... almost overly so, causing a bit of skepticism on my part. However, with all things considered, it was time to give this wonder pill a shot. I ordered the medium 70% rh.

The H****felt Industries has the solution to the solution problem. Once you follow the directions and figure out how to gently add distilled water to these beads so they do not get overly saturated, the ability of these beads to keep a steady humidity level is nothing short of miraculous.

Do yourself a favor. If you have problems keeping your box properly humidified, seek out H****felt Industries and give their beads a try. Beads come in 60%, 65%, and 70% with color coded caps to avoid confusion if want varied levels for separate boxes. You have nothing to lose and, mostly likely, everything to gain.

I use their 65% beads in my coolerdor and have been very happy with their product. Besides having a great product, they also give a military discount which is a bonus.

Just go and EDIT your post by taking the brand name out.

Most here know what it is when you just mention beads.

Except Busa he'll be looking for anal beads.

I don't care for beads at all. Had nothing but problems with them. Maybe it's the weather here in MI. I now use a Cigar Oasis in my wine fridges, a Humi-Pak in my 100 count, and plain old rectangle foam humidifiers in my coolers and I have zero problems.
