humidor beads. do i still need hygrometer?

[COMB2]

I would still get a hygro. I got a digital one in all my good humis. Not worth saving $20, not buying a hygrometer and having hundreds of $$$ in to wet or dry smokes. I just take a look at mine when ever I pull a stick out. To dry and I hit it with a squirt of water. The beads work great! Never gets to wet with them

yea I would still get one. as a side note, whoever invented the beads needs a pat on the back, I have 65% from heartfelt and they are right on all the time.
