I would think that would work good for his purpose.

What I have done is put the pillow in the box, and the box in a Large zip lock bag until I get them into the more stable enviroment of my humidor. But never in the crisper of the fridge.. The cigars will pick up the taste and smells of the container they are in.

As far as long term storage goes, I think humicare pillows can be more damaging than they are good...

How so Doc ? The chance that they might leak gel.

The Humicare pillows tend to over humidify, and seem to only release humidity, not reabsorb, like Bovedas or beads.

I agree Doc. However i have found that if you have any pillows that are dry and you put them in the bag along with the charged one it will help a little and it will absorb some of the excess humidity. Overall though, the pillows are only good for shipping, not long term storage. Really no better then floral foam.

If he's finishing the box in about a month, I don't think it makes much of a difference because the humidity is pretty solid throughout the year (I'm assuming it's similar in Santa Cruz as it is in San Francisco). I've left my hygrometer out of the humidor a few times, and it's in the 60's year-round. In the Bay Area, the humidity just doesn't fluctuate enough for this to be an issue if they're smoked in a month or so.
