I just ordered from heartfelt yesterday but went with a tube and a disk for my soon to be 150 count humi.....maybe I should have done some research myself before purchasing. Interested to hear the answers.
I have a sheet at the bottom of my newest desktop. I didn't charge them that much. I'm hoping the other ambient humidity will get down to the sheet and eventually charge the sheet without direct distilled water contact. I have beads in there as well. Humi has held pretty true at 66% for months now.
So are your sticks in direct contact with the sheet?
very much so...at first I lightly sprayed some water on the sheets...let them sit for a while, then placed it in my seasoned humidor then placed sticks on top. I'll pull one from the bottom tonight and report on my findings....they have been there for a couple months.

Cool. Definetly let us know how that turns out, like I said I have two sheets on the way.
I'd be interested to see what bbc's experience with the sheets are, if the sticks aren't wet, I'm pulling out the puck and buying some sheets and a few more cigars!

i almost went with the sheets i will be interested to see if they effect the cigar being that close to them i might just have to pick some up if they are good.
the other issue is about charging them. if they are a secondary humidity system used to just help regulate they never have to be charged, but if they are your primary humidification device they would be at one point or another. is this going to be a giant pain? would you have to pull it out every time you wanted to charge? how long would the water take to absorb in? if you add too much water will it get a cigar wet?
those are the reasons i went with the beads in the first place did feel like having to deal with worrying about all that with the beads one little spritz and they are good to go no worries they just soak up that little bit of distilled water and last for a month or so well longer down here in houston.
another addition...this cigar was sitting on it without a cello. This humi is full of higher end smokes without cellos...mostly Padron anniversaries, Padillas, Tats, Illusiones, other Pete Johnson offerings...and other non-cello'd smokes. It really was hard to get one from the bottom...careful process of gently removing sticks.
I completely missed that those boxes were the lamp! I was being a smart ass, but that lamp is f'ing cool. I thought you just had your boxes sitting out there to make us jealous. I need a smoking room .... *jealousy setting in*
Good deal maduro! I already wish I would have purchased sheets over the tube. The tube and the puck for that mater, just seem to take up a lot of room in a desktop. I can already see my space will be limited soon enough.
I def. love the beads cause there literally fool proof. I now understand why the guy in the Charlotte B&M turned me away from a humidor sale by telling me they were too much maintenance for a newbie. He probably was talking about the foam method of humidifying a humi and nothing more. I've never attempted this method of humidification but I can easily see why the beads are better. For example: I just opened my humi for 2-3 mins, stocking and arranging it with 30 sticks that just came in (10- RP edge corojo + 20 - Cuban cabinets). While opened the humidity dropped to 59%, once closed the RH climbed back up to 65% within 5 mins! That's the beauty of beads baby!
