Anyone tried Aqua Gems?

This thread has shades of Kitty Litter vs Beads written all over it...

There are a few different ways to make and post-treat super-absorbent gel polymers, all of which will result in slightly different behaviors, only some of which will be suitable for cigar storage. Just because they are a squishy water absorbent gel thingie, doesn't mean that they will work the same as the squishy water absorbent gel thingies packed into Drymystat tubes or jars of Humi-Care gel.

Without knowing the chemical makeup of these aqua gems, it's really just a guess if they might or might not work as you want them to.
