That's about it, assuming you like your cigars at 65%. If not you can either pay the extra to have them pre-conditioned to your preferred RH or just raise/lower them yourself. I'm in the process of raising mine to 70% along with the contents of both of my humidors. The beads were easy to get to 70, just followed the instructions on the site, but of course since the humidors have been at 65% for a couple years as soon as they went in they went back down towards equilbrium closer to 65 so I've also got green foam in at the moment to provide an outside source of moisture. It's taken a month or so but it's now starting to get close so I expect the cigars and wood are close to reaching 70% themselves and I'll be able to pull out the foam.
