This cannot be overstated. Get beads!

Damn. Oh well, I don't really have room for another fridge at the moment, so the fact that it got picked up is probably a good thing.

I read up on them a bit earlier today, and was pretty impressed. They seem pretty low maintenance, and supposedly last a very long time, correct? Beads and a digital hygrometer are definitely on the list.

Regarding the three humidors I posted on the last page, does the Sure Seal thing really work? Or is it just marketing lingo that doesn't actually do anything the other humidors don't?

I've Had Several "Sure Seal" Humidors. They're Not Completely Air Tight, But Definitely Better Than The "El Cheapos"! If I Could Only Buy One "Cigar Container" Right Now, Though, I Would Definitely Buy A Cooler & Fill It With Shilala Beads From Cigarnut Here On The Forum.
