Your cost assertion is not entirely true as that is only part of the equation. It takes quite a bit more kitty litter to do the job than it does RH beads (Heartfelt or HCM) so you are trading off a lot of space. I think most people would prefer to use their humidors for cigar storage rather than kitty litter storage.
