Does a humi pillow have the ability to absorb moisture from the air in the way beads do, or do they just release moisture?

Moe, I've used a new water pillow (place the blue part dry inside the plastic holder) and it will absorb
some moisture from cigars. Not as well as a Boveda pack or beads do, but it does work. I've used them that way with a spare 20 stick humi to dry out some rather wet sticks. They would have to be in some sort of airtight container or at least a big ziplock bag. YMMV...
I usually buy 12 packs of pillows at Famous for about $6, when I'm placing an order. I like to use them when I'm shipping sticks.
