What makes you guys think he has spent hundreds of dollars on sticks? If he is a newbie, and just starting out he is probably testing the waters, and why spend $30 on something if $5 can get you the same results? And as far as spending $5 to maintain them, up until "beads" were introduced most guys used green floral foam and PG solution to store their sticks... Ive never paid more than $5 for PG solution, have you?

Way to hit a new member over the head and feel welcome.

@ danreeve- to address your original question, I personally would not use eBay beads to store my cigars. I have used both Heartfelt and Shilala beads. I find that Shilala beads work better for ME, and they require less maintenance (no maintenance actually) than the Heartfelt beads. Both producers are members here, but you'll see Scott (Shilala) is more active.
