Nice looking set up!


Not sure how your RH is holding but those beads look really wet by the pics.

I did over-water the crystals a bit, they two bags are pretty dry... I'm holding between 65% and 68% over the last two days, so we shall see with the new stuff going in.

Is that cat litter beads in there? I thought the blue beads were scented.
It's is kitty crystals, they are unscented, even the blue. They're all just silica crystals. The first kind I bought, were scented!! (Oops) Luckily I caught it before any went into the cooler. The Exquisicat crystals are unscented.

Awesome set-up!!!

So, that cat litter really works? There's just some weird part of me that is like... "no way, I can't put cat litter in a humidor!"

That's how I was... but for the amount of beads I would need it would have been over $100. I'll take the $10 crystals since they work. It's not pretty, but I'm cheap! :angel:

Very nice setup, and cigars too!

Question: How big is that cooler? I have a 52 qt, but i have it horizontal and it's packed to the brim - do you think it holds more vertically?

It's 150qt cooler. Vertically I think I can organize better, but if I laid it horizontally, I would be able to fit more in there.

I used the exact same ones for years and never had an issue. I recently switched to the HCM clay beads, but kept all my kitty litter just in case.

What humidity do they keep it at?
They take a bit of time to get the set at a good RH. you need to add water slowly. Mine held at 65-68% for several years.


To the Original poster. the KL looks a bit wet. If you need to dry it out, just put them in the fridge for a day or 2 and it iwll suck the water out.
