OH THE HUMIDITy...

[the gurkha]

So I being the college student I am enjoy the summers where I work at a very fine boy scout summer camp. When I am down there I am constantly smoking cigars. The problem is it is by a huge lake and the air is always so damp and can't get the humidity below 80%, and it's hot too. So I need to figure out a way this summer to get something rigged up that's air tight (like a coolidor) and keep the humidity out. So I was wondering would beads even be able to regulate that or just soak up water and I would really have no way to dry them out. It's a cabin that I live in so there is nowhere indoors to store them. Any other thoughts will help.

The beads will definitely soak up the moisture and keep your RH @ 65% BUT ya gotta watch it because at some point, the beads will become to wet and you'll have to dry them out with a hair dryer. All you need is an inexpensive analog hygrometer. Once you see it start climbing over 65% by a fairly good margin, dry the beads.
