Poor man's humidification

I got this idea from an old cigar smoker I was talking to last week. The Soil Moist cost me about $12 at Fred Meyers, the bags were on sle for .50 each at Ben Franklin. I probably used way to much Soil Moist. I used 3 tablespoons in each of the two small bags and 6 Tablespoons in the big bag. They suck in a lot of distilled water and I can probably get them even plumper if I used more distilled water. I'm going to check the RH over night to see where they are at

Oh, man... even I felt awkward with that one......
Basically I used way too much of the Moist soil. I ended up pouring most of it from the three bags I made into another bag. I then put the three bags into 3 different coolers. I have a 100 quart that I keep most of my boxes and unopened in, a smaller styrofoam one that I keep everything else in and a smaller cooer that I keep any infused, I might acquired into. After putting the bags into the coolers I let them sit a while and then checked on the humidity. The first time I checked I was at bout 73-76 between the three. I poured out more of the moist soil and continued to stagger that and checking my humidity until I am at 67-69 hum. between all three. With the excess I now have. I'll have to wait about 6 months to a year for them to go back to their dry property. I'll have to keep checking the humidity especially since I'm using coolers without any spanish cedar and the addition or subtraction of cigars will change the humidity. At that point I just have to pour out a little bit or add a bit more Soil Moist to keep it pretty constant.
