Are the tubes from heartfelt better than a mesh bag. I am putting them in a desk top I got for Christmas. I plain to put more in than required due to the fact that I am new and am sure I will have it open more than a seasoned smoker.

I use a 2oz tube of 65% Heartfelt beads in my desktop humidors. I have 1lb in two mesh bags in each of my Vinotemps. I prefer lower Rh as my cigars smoke more to my liking at the lower Rh.
