If I use a wet sponge will that work too fast and split my sticks? Should I place a small cup of water in there and let it go?
Thanks for your help.

People have answered about the beads, so I will focus on the sticks. To avoid any splitting raise the RH in your humi slowly. Putting in recharged beads would be fine, but I would not throw a damp sponge or anything will a lot of moisture in with the cigars.

This is what I was concerned about. Thanks.
I can tell already that it is going to be a chore this winter keeping that thing in a decent range.
I wonder if the wife will spring for some beads and cooler for Christmas??? Hmmmmmmm....
