So from what i read, these Humi-care water pillows last for a pretty long time? I have been keeping a couple in my Cigar Caddy just to keep from having to use the little sponge at the top of it. But i dont want to keep them in there if there is a risk of them getting dry on me while i am out and about for a few days.

They work for at least 30 days and each pillow will humidify 15-20 cigars as it says on the packet. It takes about 20 seconds to recharge in distilled water. I use these things a lot.

It should take a long long time for them to dry out. I used to keep one in my travel Herf-a-dor even when I wasn't using it, thinking it was a good idea. But since my earlier testing wit the pillows I have quit doing it because I figured the RH would be high enough to promote mold. That sounds like a good thing for me to test. I'll put a pillow and a hygrometer in my travel Herf-a-dor and see what RH I get. I've never had a mold problem like that before but if the RH gets too high I would suppose that there is a risk of mold when pillows are left inside travel humidors for long periods.
They are Bob....I've seen pillows that had mold growing inside the pillow and that shocked me...so when I recharge a pillow I only leave it in the DW for 20 seconds at most and there is a shelf life of how many time you can recharge them. They were never meant as a long term solution for cigars to be properly humidified but rather a short term. I bought those little round plastic discs from another source for a $1 a piece...opened em up and took out the foam and refilled with KL...it's perfect for small humidors up to a 50 count and one can recharge it as many times as you want.
