Of course Karl's reference to Tom Ridenour's sponge is one where humidity is not regulated in the sense that Boveda packs will, within limits, emit or absorb moisture to regulate humidity.
And of course, we can argue that such regulated control may have little if any positive effect on the longevity and playability of cane.
I think the whole goal here is that once a new reed is exposed to moisture, that it never fully dries out to experience the potential dimension changing effects of varied levels of aridness, and that limiting humidity, once at an acceptable level (say 72%) may be more about controlling mold producing conditions than optimizing the climate for stored cane.
I looked at a Youtube video of Brad Behn's new reed storage boxes. As seems to always be the case, (no pun intended) Brad has thoughtfully considered a design that maximizes functionality in a compact space, but I am forced to question whether spending the money on such wares (in this specific situation, as opposed to others that my include Brad's wonderful product offerings) will translate into better play (for me,) or simply fill a desire, again at least for me, to own yet another trinket.
