the results would all be dependent on the actual rectagular element. The size of the humi, how well it seals or doesn't seals, how often you open it, how esetablished the wood is and how many cigars are in there.

It would be hard to say the exact effect. However if you have the appropriate # of beads you should not need anything else. If the beads keep drying out then you probablyhave not easoned it properly or have introduced a bunch of dryer than normal sticks IMO.
