He specifically asked about Boveda and the sponge humidifier that came with his humidor.

He does, actually:

From a theoretical perspective, would a traditional humidification source (disc, beads, any 1-way source) to provide RH and a Boveda (2-way) to regulate RH not be a good idea? I'm not married to the idea, just curious if the drawbacks are practical ones or a flaw in my thinking.

My interpretation of this is that he believes beads do not absorb moisture (1-way source). Maybe I misunderstood.
