Did the dollar bill test and while it doesn't slide right out it does pull out without feeling like it had a chance of tearing the bill and I've read it should be difficult-impossible to pull out of the lid/lip. So I am guessing I have a slight seal problem. Unsure if thats always like that or...

Per the HF site its 6 1/2" by 2 1/2" by 1/2" thick, so I can tell when they've dried up (which i let get about 75% dry before I hit it again with distilled water).   I do have a lot of space (relatively speaking as it's only a 100ct) so I'll definitely take your advice and try to find some...

After some research and lurking I couldn't quite find an answer and found this post to be the closest thing even though it still doesn't resolve my issues.   I have the Small rectangle 65% HF beads,good for 1080 cubic inch humi (my humi is a 832 cubic inch) in a Savoy 100 count. I have had a...

Have had the same issue in my Savoy. Been dropping 55%-60% with the 65% beads. Not sure if its the beads or the humi but at least with the 70% it gives it a higher start point. Wine-a-dore looks great!

Found out today I got a promotion and I feel it's time to find out what a premium cigar tastes like... Padron '26, Padron '64 or Opus. Decisions decisions...

  Just to update I took your advice and looked into Savoy ended up finding and purchasing a Large Bubinga (up to 100 cigars) from smokingpipes.com for $112.00 with free shipping.  Should be here friday. Also purchased 65% heartfelt humidity beads and Boveda seasoning packets (I know it's a cop...

I don't know if you've done this or not yet but make sure you source the seasoning first depending on where you live. We do it at our hunting camp every now and then when camp members cousin and friend from Georgia come up (they call them low country boils). Problem is we live in NY near...

Congrats!

Someone went to Disney live judging by the Mickey hat

Yeah I'd say heartfelt is the way to go and clearly trusted 'round here. I was trying to do this as cheap as possible but I guess humidification is not the place to skimp out on. I'm seriously looking at savoy humidors as suggested in my other thread. Thanks for all the advice! I shall go back...

I just got out of the hospital after near fatal alcohol poisoning. I decided every time the word "understand" was typed by BC I'd take a drink... Bad idea.

It's 15.99 for the rectangular system including beads. Heartfelts is 35 for similar size. Heartfelts is the one I'll probably go with just on reputation and I prefer the appearance of the stainless steel. I was just wondering if anyone had experience with cigar mechanic's beads

So I'm giving up on the idea of building my own humidor and will buy a humidor (Adirondack 100ct) from cheaphumidors.com. I'm looking to switch to beads as they seem to be the preferred option to jars and longer lasting than packets. cheaphumidors.com carries cigar mechanic beads and they are...

  Yeah I read it yesterday. I'd love to build one that size but for the shear cost of material I will probably steer clear of something that big. However, if I decide to build one and it turns out ok I may move to something that size. I could never fill it, but, It would be awesome to have...

  I personally love the smell of spanish cedar so I would use it regardless. I've read that mahogany does a great job though at maintaining RH. I personally don't love the look of mahogany though so I personally wouldn't use it. 

  My quick thought on a plan was use purple heart for the box then with the top bevel down towards the inside which would be lined with lightly fit together spanish cedar tongue and groove which I think will allow ample space for expansion. Then the top would have a couple pieces of the cedar...

Both responses are duly noted. I'm just concerned because everything I'm finding is that humidors in the price range I'd want to spend on a 100-150ct ($75-$150) are "garbage" and "seal wont last", but, of course, the "good" ones are like $800+ for a 50-100 ct. I'm sorry, but, $800+ for a 50-100...
