Boveda packs are fine for short term storage, but in a humid climate they will absorb excess moisture as quickly as beads. If you use Boveda packs you will need double the amount so you can put new ones in your humidor while you recharge the old ones.
+1 on this; I use Heartfelt beads as well. I've only used Boveda packs in herfadors and I like them for that, but I figure you didn't ask about beads.
