Re: Inexpensive beads?
This discussion always comes up every few months...Let me save you some time and flaming brother...
1) Don't go cheap on taking care of your cigars. 2) Why spend so much $ on cigars and crap out on humidification? (kinda like shelling out hundreds on fine wine and drinking it out of plastic cups.) c) You may not do it now but eventually your stash will outgrow how much you smoke, hence you'll start accidentally aging cigars. You don't want to smoke aged cigars that have not been taken care of properly. Good luck

Spend the money and go with Heartfelt beads!
I had a friend who bought cheap beads. He sent me a pound of them. They are trash and do not even come close to the quality of Heartfelt beads. These things stink and I don't want that smell on my cigars. When I spray them to charge them they explode. It takes forever for them to charge. I have half a pound of Heartfelt beads and side by side the quality really is there. |

Re: Inexpensive beads?
I have 2.5lbs of heartfelt's product. Have never looked back. Cost nearly as much to ship them here as the original cost. They are not expensive if you look at what your getting them to deal with. 6K in the wineador. 0.15K to humidify is cheap in comparison methinks. *S*

Re: Inexpensive beads?
I use shiala's beads now being made/sold by mike (cigarnut). I don't get why you would want a CHEAP product to protect and season your EXPENSIVE cigars.

Probably my fault for not using it correctly, but I won't be buying another one. I now use a container to catch my excess condensation, which I really don't have much of anymore since the RH and temp have stabilized. |

Re: Inexpensive beads?
I have the sheets. I keep them in my vino, and only use them for temporary humidity control in travel humis. For that purpose, they work great!

Re: Inexpensive beads?
I was thinking about getting some sheets to use in my travel humi when I will be gone for more than 1 or 2 days. right now I have a mix of heartfelt 65% beads in my Vino and and extremely overkill amount in my desktop (2-8oz bags in one 100ct humi ) just keeping them in there until my new 16ct wine cooler is ready.

Re: Inexpensive beads?
If you're looking to cut corners, go ahead and put the boxes in your underwear drawer with a wet sponge, like your Grand Dad used to do.
