Description
How to choose the proper humidity level-
85%- For initial seasoning or re-seasoning humidors.
75%- Lighter cigars with brittle wrappers (Cameroon, Connecticut Shade)
72%- Best for a wide variety of cigars. Use these if you have many different types, strengths and wrappers.
69%- Most Cuban Cigars and for long term aging of cigars. (Have a cigar that's a bit green? This is the pack you want to mature it with)
65%- Dark, oily cigars. Maduros, Oscuros, Connecticut Broadleaf etc...
62%- Pipe Tobacco & Herbal mixtures.
Lighter cigars (Connecticut, Cameroon)
***Number of 60gr packs required to properly humidify your cigars is based on total humidor cap. You need 1 pack for each 25 cigars of capacity. Example: 100 Capacity Humidor will require 4 Boveda packs, 75 will require 3, etc...***
Boveda knows 2-way humidity control for packages and containers. We invented it.
It’s well known in science that certain salts mixed with water will naturally regulate humidity. We just patented the way that made it practical for packaging. Other packaging inserts either add moisture or remove moisture. Boveda does both, monitoring the RH (relative humidity) inside the container and regulating to the specific RH engineered into the Boveda.
Available in multiple sizes and humidity levels, Boveda can solve your intermediate moisture need and maintain the ideal moisture content of the items inside your container. Boveda uses all FDA-compliant ingredients and won’t damage anything through direct contact. The life of any Boveda depends how much moisture it releases, which will vary based on climate and container. You’ll know it’s time to replace Boveda when it’s no longer pliable.
It’s impossible for Boveda to over-humidify beyond the RH on the pack. That’s why our usage instructions talk about minimums, not maximums. There’s no such thing as using “too much”. More than the minimum will just last longer.
