Heartfelt beads vs Bovedas

[jrfoxx]

If used as intended, the Boveda should be the most maintenance free. Toss them in; when dry, toss ‘em out and replace.
Yes, you can recharge the Boveda, but it would take an extra supply to rotate AND they can be overcharged resulting in humidity levels significantly more than labeled.
The beads require some sort of tray, mesh bag or something else to contain them. A simple misting with water when humidity levels drop is all that’s needed.

The real determination of how much maintenance is required is the air tightness of you storage, how often it’s opened, and how dry or wet your cigars are when you stock up.

Its supposed to be air and moisture tight as it has a gasket on the lid.

Shouldn't really be opened very often, except fairly quickly every couple weeks just for a little air exchange that has been reccomended.

The vendors I have been using seem to be pretty good about storing them at a reasonable rh, as whenever I add a bunch to my 65% tupperdors , the rh doesn't really change any.

I would buy a couple of the mesh bags from Heartfelt to contain the beads I have if I go that route.

The upside to beads is that I already have what should be enough for the size of the container.
