Please don't spend $80 on a box of Havana Honeys. I need a Padron right now just for that post alone. Your $80 will go farther (meaning, you'll get better quality sticks) that you'll ENJOY smoking with the newbie sampler here on the board.

Don't worry about 14 days / 2 days / whatever. Put beads in there (for a humi that size, just get this guy - you'll be fine), and forget about the hygrometer. You'll know your beads are set as long as you keep the beads moistened with distilled water.
