RH bead question

Thanks Icehog.

I guess to further clarify my question: I notice that some of boxes of cigars that come from CBid/CI come in at about 70% RH. If I just remove the plastic wrap around the box and drop it into the cooler, I tend to notice a slight rise in RH.

I'm expecting about 2-3 boxes coming from CBid this week. So should I consider it safe to to drop in 65% RH beads into my coolerdor (without adding moisture) with the hope that it'll absorb the excess moisture from the boxes that are coming in at 70% and maintain a steady 65% (since the cooler itself doesn't breathe).
