Humidity Problem with Beads

[ashauler]

Do you have any extra beads? If you do, overdose the cooler with them, but put them in dry. Leave it closed for a day or two.....open and check the dry beads. If they've been hydrated, you have too much humidity for the bead qty you have in there....so, maybe too many boxes or pieces of cedar that are retaining moisture. Try to remove some of the cigars in boxes, if you have box with a bunch of mixed up shit in it use that one, and put them in either baggies, or a plastic tray of some kind. Dry the beads.....repeat....see what happens. You can do the same thing with some pieces of cedar, box spacers work well, that are really really dry to help absorb and remove moisture.

BTW, how do your cigars smoker directly from the cooler?

I haven't been smoking directly from the cooler.
I move cigars from the cooler to my desktop when it gets low.
What's the best way to dry the beads?
I have 2 pounds of 60% and 2 pounds of 65%. Does it matter if I use both for drying purposes?
Thanks for all the help so far.
