Water pillow or Boveda humidity pack

[quote=CigarNut;708375]You could also use one of Shilala's bead sticks -- they are about the size of a double corona and they work great (I have one each in my 15 and 25 cigar caddies).

I own a lot of Scott's beads so I'm not knocking him or his product at all but my concern would be the mess they leave behind. If they are in a vino temp or cooler it's no big deal but his beads are so fine that a lot of the media falls out of the bag everytime they are touched, nevermind moved. If you were going to use these in a travel humidor I'd think there would be cleaner options out there like the pack, the sheet, or the pillows.

There is something wrong with your media -- you might want to check with Scott on this. Having looked at the media and the beads, the beads are definately bigger than the "holes" in the cloth.

Like I said, I have been using the bead sticks in my cigar caddies for a couple of months without a problem. When I am not using the caddies I through the bead sticks back in my humidor.

Perhaps you are thinking of the Heartfelt beads? I do get a lot of "snow" from them. Which is why I use sheets or Bovedas in my travel humis.

Nope. I have both and Scott's bags are unique, plus they have his name on them.
