I have just discovered that my beads have turned woolly in my coolidor. It is at 68-70 every time I go in and just noticed the beads were discolored. I picked out a wrapper that had fallen in. Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks all!!

Do you mean woolly like moldy, or just discolored like a faint brown color?

Dang, headed out the door and can't wait for the followup response. If they're moldy I don't know what to say, but I'm sure someone with more experience will come along. However, I do know that if they're just discolored, a slight brown discoloration is normal and harmless since the beads just take on a tint from the tobacco oils.

Take a pic Stephan, it would help allot. Or better yet maybe a description of what "woollly" is lol. You make it sound like they have grown moldy or fuzzy.

At 1st glance it appeared moldy to me. Now that I look again it seems just discolored. Here is a pic.

Also - are those heartfelt beads? Looks like you have them fully saturated which is not a good thing as they will not be able to absorb any excess humidity from your humidor when necessary. You should aim for about 60%-70% of the beads being clear/saturated, the rest should be white/opaque/dry. |

If you don't want to just throw those away ( my choice ) and start fresh, pour them out on some paper towels to absorb the excess water and dry out a little. Charge them with a spray bottle, never pour water into them. Less is more.

Then, after you have gotten rid of the standing water, you can use a hair dryer to dry them out. Just don't run the fan on high or you could end up blowing them all over the place. If you have a really large quantity of beads to dry, a quarter sheet pan (aka: cookie sheet) and a 200F oven will do it. Just keep an eye on them for the color change back to white.
