But for the humidor
Measures 10-5/16 by 8-3/4 by 4-5/16 inches (WxDxH)
Product Details
Style Name: Capri-Elegant
Product Dimensions: 8.8 x 10.5 x 4.5 inches <--- is it width x depth x height?

It's a volume measurement, not the girth, so the order of entry is irrelevant.

Bead requirements:
in lbs : 0.05
or ounces : 0.8

Does that seem sufficient?

0.8oz, rounded up to 1oz should be fine. If you want a margin of additional capacity then a 2oz bag should be more than sufficient.

The difference between the "bag" and the "stick" is just the shape - the photos are on the website. The "stick" was shaped to fit better into travel humidors.

just need to figure out how much I need / should buy

HCM beads come pre-set at 65%RH. You can adjust them to a higher or lower RH if you desire (something you can't do with heartfelt beads), the instructions on how to do that are on the website.

EDIT: Just looked at the pricing - a 1oz bag/stick is $14, a 2oz is $15. For a buck more, I'd just get the 2oz.

I appreciate the feed back and tips.
I bought me 3 ounces of the 65% beads 2 to go in my 50ct and 1 to go into my 25ct
