Oh and the fact that kitty litter is designed and manufactured to absorb cat urine and not humidify cigars. 
That is purely speaking of silica beads, HCM beads are far more effective than both the silica beads and kitty litter.
Use what you like, of course, but to imply that kitty litter and beads are one in the same simply isn't the case. |
People can use KL and feel superior about doing so but the fact above is true regardless of anything.
KL was designed to be KL -- to mange the odor and abosorbion of cat urine and cat feces -- and that is a fact .
Heartfelt Beads, HCM beads while made of different materials, were designed for cigar humidification. That is a huge difference.
If people want to trust 100's or 1000's of dollars worth of their cigars to KL so that they can save a few dollars on the humidification product that is their choice. I personally think it is a foolish choice but we are each entitled to our own opinions and actions.
