Travel Humidor

I went to a b&m in Manhattan over the weekend, and they had a great selection so I made an impulse buy and bought a 15 cigar xikar travel humidor and filled it with cigars. Now, I plan on using this as my primary humidor for awhile until I need a bigger one. My question is, since it's pretty small, what is the easiest way to regulate the humidity? The digital hygrometers look a little big for my humidor. I plan on just buying some beads and hoping it works, but wanted to hear your guys' opinions.

Beads or Boveda paks.

I'm pretty sure all the xikar travel humidors have a built in humidification device, even the little 5 count. Isn't there a small disc inserted into the top of the case when you open it? Just put a couple drops of PG solution on the green foam inside the disc.

Beads.


I've 3 Otter boxes and I keep two on deck for use at all times. I just recharge the beads every so often. I don't even worry about them.

Yea there is, I just don't want to have to go every/everyother day and put some in it.

I've heard people talk about the viper humidity sheets for this application. Also, once you get a humidor / coolerdor, you can just put your whole traveldor in there and it should hydrate for whenever your next trip is.

Also, I doubt you'd have to check on it every day. I just took a 15 count on vacation with me for 8 days, and I didn't even bother with any humidifying device. Everything smoked great.
