I used to keep a couple dozen kinds of flavored sticks around for non-smoking company and friends. I kept each different kind in bail jars from Walmart. The plastic ones kinda take up the smell of the sticks, so I switched to glass ones.
I made handy-dandy bead bags that laid in the bottom of the jars. They were round and flat and held about an ounce of beads. Worked great.
I'd roll with the HCM beads or the little Boveda packs Ben mentioned. Either way you can't lose.
