It depends on where in the country it goes. In areas with high 
year round humidity, they do fine. Here in Wichita Kansas, 
they tend to deteriorate quickly without good humidity 
control. People try to shrug off the "gray market" boojum as a 
marketing thing, but it's a very real concern in areas that 
have seasons.
