No problem bro.

Honestly, I wouldn't get too hung up on trying to find a substitute for the gel, as once you get a bit further down the road, you might realize that you really would prefer your cigars stored at 60-65%RH, which, from my experience, are not reliably obtainable with gel (gel tends to stabilize at a higher humidity), but easily reliably obtainable with beads.

But if you don't, and you want to be swimming in gel crystals, LMK, I'll give you a few URLs for suppliers of good product that is known to work as we desire it to, and $10 will get you about 3oz dry, which will blow up to fill the better part of a 5gal bucket.
