I would imagine that in the absence of a water pillow, it would be possible to use a damp paper towel as long as the cigars were in cellophane. Correct me if I'm mistaken though. It would serve the same purpose as the water pillow, and even a small piece of a sponge, dampened, would work too.
Its a good idea, but if you take a ziplock bag and put a damp paper towel in it with a hygrometer, I would venture a guess at around 80% humidity or more. If I didn't have a water pillow (3rd item down), I would say leave out the humidity, and let whomever you are sending them to rest in their humidor for a while, which is exactly what they will do if they recieve a package and notice there is no humidifier in there. I save all the water pillows i get from cigar.com packages in a ziplock bag for up to 2 months, after that I toss them, but that's what I use for PIF's and such.
Just recieved my PIF from cusccrstud21 and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Three of them I have never tried and have been wanting to. Excellent PIF.

bass8844 got your package in the mail today. After a 16 HOUR day at work i have to tell you, this made my day. you do fit in the catagory of a good trader and a stand up folk.
Received my package from j0z3r yesterday and it was totally awesome, 5 sticks I haven't had the pleasure of smoking before. Two thumbs way up.....Thanks
I'm happy to read that ashmaster.... I was a bit worried that my package would be too "newbie-ish" or something along those lines. Do let me know when you sample the sticks what your impression of them is.
kuzi16...received your package today. Not bad...played golf and came home to your package. Nice! Excellent trader...thanks for making my first trade a good one!
Just got back from the outpost I was at today. I was extended there for a week and then got hit by a bomb when I got back. LOL.
There was a package of smokes in the mail from matt.hickey. He definitely goes in the Stand up Folks category. Thanks Matt.
