Default Travel Humi and Heartfelt Sheets?

So I am thinking about picking up a small travel humi (I don't have space for a cooler) and in searching for humidification I found the heartfelt sheets. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them?

Also here is what I'm thinking for my humi

(any difference between the Herf-a-dor, XiKar, and Cigar CAddy brands?)

I use them in my 15 count and my 30 count. I just keep them in the humi and pull them out for use as needed. I only have a hygro in the 30 count but it does a good job for the week or so I use it.

What about for rather long term storage? I assume since they work they same as the beads it should be fine? I'm thinking about these because I only need a small volume to be humidified.

Sheets work the same way as the beads, they could be used interchangably for long-term or short-term storage as long as they are properly charged. Properly sealed the Cigar Caddy can be used for long-term storage, I frequently leave cigars in mine for months at a time with no ill effects.

I bought one of these sheets and it's working out well for me. I cut part of it in to strips and placed a strip in each finger of my three finger leather cigar case. I've used the remainder to transport cigars in a small tupperware container or ziplock bag.

I would say otherwise, but hear me out...they perform like Heartfelt, but they work more like HCM in that I do not find
they absorb moisture very well directly. Of course, they don't EXPLODE, either. But the way I usually charge them is
by putting them into a cedar box with a cup of water in it for a few days. Of course, if you keep a few sheets in your
ice chests with your cigars, they come out fine for use in a travel humi I also find. Maybe people spray a mist of water
on em to moisturize them. I have no idea how others charge em. I DO find they work well.

Default Re: Travel Humi and Heartfelt Sheets?

I have a bunch of sheets, same stuff but I got them from a conservancy. I've always wondered what the heck I'd ever use them for, and my travel humis are a great idea.
I never worked them into anything because the actual amount of beads/exposure/mrh value in the sheets is really pitiful compared to even just a tiny little bead sachet.
In a cigar caddy that's really well sealed, I could hide the beads behind the foam. I could charge the sheets up by throwing the open caddy's in my winador.
Now, if I can only find the big envelope of sheets.
