Is PolyTerra Cardboard spool a good thing? (moisture)

I have just bought 2 spools of PolyTerra and like the filament.. but I question the cardboard spool  and water absorption.  I have 2 plastic spools of PLA in a PolyBox with desiccant and it has been at about 15-20% for a week. I built another drybox and just put in a spool of PolyTerra that is about 1/2 used and has been out in 35% humidity for 2 weeks. The humidy in that drybox is at 28% and hasn't dropped in about 5 hours..  got me to wondering if the cardboard might be absorbing more moisture than the filament and then releasing it in the drybox? 

A relatively new filament.. wonder if they overlooked something..
