Humidor in Hawaii

It'll even out eventually depending on whether the RH is always around 65% there. If it routinely goes above that I would get beads to keep the RH at 65% inside the humidor.

Beads perform two functions: humidity absorption and humidity release. In Hawaii, the humidity can go up and down quite far in short periods. This can cause the cigars to expand and contract rapidly and lead to cracking. Even if, on average, the humidity is near perfect, the buffering effect of the beads will probably be desirable.
