Beads go bad?

[OLS]

On topic I Dremeled the end off of my "Montecristo" branded humi-stick yesterday and spoked out all the crappy
crystals it came with and replaced them with nice, fresh beads. Instead of a boveda pack on this trip to the Smokies
I am going to try beads. In the end its as irrelevant as most of what I say here, I could take the box dry and still
love the taste of the smokes in it. It's that getting home with dry cigars that I failed to get to I would like to avoid.

I love beads. It's not the putting them in that's so great, it's the taking them out that matters, I think.
I am going to put the travel humidor on the floor because I read somewhere that I have to bend over to
properly insert the beads. Not sure if it was a cigar-related page though, so we'll take it slow just to be safe.
I will have the beads in for a solid week in the smokies. I plan on sitting down in some cool mountain streams,
too, so that should feel extra good. Then when I get home, I am just gonna yank em out in one smooth motion.
