"The cigar...is something that commands respect. It is made for all the senses, for all the pleasures, for the nose, the palate, the fingers, the eyes... A good cigar contains the promise of a totally pleasurable experience."Zino Davidoff

I thought I read that PG will kill the beads.

with. the jars the beads came in say to add it when they shrink to a certain line. I go back and forth with distilled water and PG. I've been using them a little over two years and they look new.
QuoteDonM - 1/11/2014 6:24 AMI use 2 of those in the top and 2 in the bottom and alternate spraying 1 of each when my RH drops. It has worked great for me. I am a firm believer that if it isn't broke don't fix it

I use 4 per each in my 120qt Coleman coolidors. Spritz them once a month when shuffling stock / recharging fan batteries.

Hey. did you ever dig through the KL in the bottle? I threw a cracker jack surprise in there, but considering how big that bottle was I realized you may not have gotten far into it!
Quotetvolball - 1/11/2014 5:55 PM Lets say I go with the mesh bag idea. Can you just lay them on top and underneath cigars without hurting them?
No idea. I ended up adding little mounts so I could hold them near the fans in my coolidors. I know they sell tubes the size of a cigar you can fill with beads and leave those next to your ciagrs, but I had nothing but trouble with those things leaving broken pieces of beads all over my sticks. The mesh bags have much smaller holes, and I haven't noticed the bead "dust" with them. Still probably wouldn't though.

Heartfelt don't shrink/expand. Not supposed to use PG with them either. Not sure why they call that jarred stuff beads/crystals/etc. Should be called jelly or something similar!
