A previous post suggested the use of "Damp-It", which is actually a product to introduce moisture to the case, rather than take it away.
Personally, I believe that the greatest danger to a clarinet is shock; thermal, humidity, or mechanical. To control humidity, I swab out my instrument thoroughly and place the swab in the case to act as a small "humidifier". This way any significant amount of moisture has been removed from the bore and is available for the entire instrument to absorb, albeit slowly.
I have three clarinets over 20 years of age, no cracks.
