Ok Folks, steer me in the right direction.
If I remember right, Heartfelt beads should NOT come in contact with your cigars. And if that's the case, how do you contain them for use in the bottom of a larger humi?
I have tubes that I use in my wineador and notice bead "dust" sometime.

I plan on getting one of the metal/mesh holders that could be mounted on the lid but would still like to have some kind of humidification in the bottom.

I'm using boveda paks right now, but don't like having to pull out my sticks to get to them when it's time to recharge them.

What do you'll use???

You could get a couple of those plastic .22 round cases. Get the ones that hold 100 rounds and you'll have a good size.

In my wineador I keep them tied in the end of some cheap nylon stockings then set that into a cut down foil loaf pan. I also have a couple small tupperware containers I cut a bunch of small slits in the top and sides i was putting in each individual tray until I put the bovedas in

I don't have a traditional humidor but use these in my wineadors and cooler and they would work in a humidor. I also chew and the "tins" are plastic. I cut out the inner circle on the top, fill with beads and stretch a piece of mesh across the top before snapping on the lid. They are like a "puck" that you can set on the bottom, on the side against any wall or even stick a magnet on it and hang upside down under the lid or tray. Happy to post a pic and save a few empties for you if you're interested.

I picked up a couple of small plastic containers at Hobby Lobby. They are about 2 in tall by 3 1/2 in long and 1 1/2 in wide.
I think they had different sizes to chose from. My guess is people keep different color beads or something in them when
they do craft stuff.
They work really well for me.

I use test tubes that I drilled many holes in. Like 200ct of them for <$10 on Amazon, so a few guys I know have used tubes from the same set. Works great for me

Before that I used tiny glass jars I made by cutting glass

I have heard of people using empty cigar coffins and either leaving the lid slightly open or drilling holes into the lid.

I use empty baby food containers, the plastic kind, although the glass jars would work just as well. Nice thing about those is you can stack stuff on top of them and they're pretty stable.
