Again, I am not saying that what you are doing is wrong -- it is working for you and you are happy with it. For me I would prefer to find the cause and solve the problem. A test to verify the problem would be to put your beads and cigars in a Tupperware or other well-sealing container (without the humicare jar) and see how they do.

I know you feel this way, as you would selling your product, but I was just sharing my own experience. I have 2 bags of shilala beads and both act the same way in both of my humidors. I am not saying the beads don't work, just that they do seem to lose humidity over time.
