Thanks! Any idea how many I need? What %?

Re: RH Beads: 300+ Ct Footlocker Help?
 

I think there is a measuring tool on his site. The % all depends on how you like your smokes. I started with 70% then changed to 65%. I then sold my heartfelt and went with Shilala beads as they are less maintainance. :2

Gotcha. Seems like a pound will be a bit overkill for my rig, but reading on the site says overkill = a-okay.

Thanks again guys, just placed my order.

More than you need is better than not having enough.

Heartfelt beads rock, you won't be disappointed. :tu

Re: RH Beads: 300+ Ct Footlocker Help?
 

Both Heartfelt and Shilala are great and both are good folks. I personally prefer Shilala's Packaging method. Both can also give good advice on quantity but I have found things work better with a little extra quantity.:)

I have the same humi and a pound keeps it perfect :tu

I also have a 300 ct humidor, but it's the El Diablo one...would 1 pound of beads be too much???

Re: RH Beads: 300+ Ct Footlocker Help?
 

More is always better. I've found that one pound works wonderfully in keeping my humidor at 70%. I've 1# spread out in 3 bags around the humidor.

Thank you!!!:ss

I've got the same one as one of my seven. I've got 8 oz on the bottom and 4 oz on top. Rock solid at 65.

You'll find the 300 count is actually closer to 200 when you put larger rg sticks in it.

how do u like the el diablo humidor??? do u think the spanish cedar smell is too strong?? I'm wondering if it'll adversely affect the flavor of my cigars?

Re: RH Beads: 300+ Ct Footlocker Help?
 

It's good enough for the cigar manufacturers, it's good enough for me.
It'll add a little cedar bite to the first ones you store, but settle in after a month or so.
