My Heartfelt beads have kept my Rh steady at 62-65% for the last 3 years and I find them to be excellent investment.

Well what I am trying to get at is I am not sure these are not the same product as what you might find in a cigar specific application just marketed differently, so yes they are a small risk(only if I am not paying attention to my hygrometer), but also an upgrade over floral foam which I suspect most people who have small home humidors use.
