Anyone have experience with old Heartfelt beads. I have some from a long time ago brown with age and smelling strongly of cedar. Do they lose their ability to work properly over time or with absorbing humidor scents etc?

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Who?
I would bag some up with a hygrometer to check. I'm an advocate for boveda, but if the beads still work, cedar scented heartfelt might be awesome.
Just to update...
I bought new beads because I needed them anyway. I found that when wet the new beads immediately went clear. The old ones really need a good soaking to rehydrate. Once wet they both keep humidity as expected. Maybe it’s the age causing the hydration issue or something to do with all the cycles they have gone through. The old ones are pretty fractured too. It time to put them out to pasture I think. RIP my first Heartfelt beads, you will be remembered.
