Boveda 58% Two-Way Humidity Control Packs For Storing 1 lb – Size 67 – 4 Pack – Moisture Absorbers for Storage Containers – Humidifier Packs – Hydration Packets in Resealable Bag

Very useful find

Having read that the optimum humidity for cigar storage is 65 degrees and excess of 75 degrees ruins them, I calibrated several digital hygrometers. Then tried several methods: the “Green foam” with distilled water that most humidors come with (unsatisfactory) and the transparent beads with PPG (marginal). As an occasional cigar smoker, aware that some cigars could end-up being stored for several years and thereby ruined by unsuitable humidity, I kept experimenting and chanced upon Boveda. To my delight the Boveda packs do exactly what they say on the box. They keep cigars at the desired humidity. Care needs to be taken: Most humidors are im-perfect and let in outside air, some more than others. Therefore you’ll need to carefully follow manufacturer’s instructions, not least first “seasoning” the humidor. Having done that, the packs work great and are recommended. Of course, in a leaky humidor you may have to compensate: A calibrated hygrometer showing 62 degrees with a 65 pack would mean the humidor is “leaking” 3 degrees humidity. In which case, perhaps the next up (69) is the right pack to generate a “real” 66. Some experimentation is in order. As an aside, being somewhat concerned that placing a Boveda pack on top of cigars may not be elegant (although approved by the manufacturer) I purchased a Spanish cedar “cage” that can hold 2 or 4 Boveda packs, also made by Boveda, that magnetically adheres to the a humidor’s lid.

rubbish delivery.

Some of the packs seemed to be more effective than others but all in all no complaints

Keeps the cigars in good condition and in 69%

The Boveda packs really work well. I got sick and tired of over-humidification in my small Adorini Torino humidor, a problem I'm pretty sure many people have with whatever make of humidor they have. Adorini's humidification system is supposed to be among the best - a gel pad inside a smart holder that is re-charged with distilled water, and it worked fine for about 6 months holding a steady 72-74% humidity (which is slightly high, but ok), but then it started massively over humidifying at 80% plus, which means mould. Even getting a new gel pad didn't solve the problem. So in the end I bit the bullet and got the Boveda 75% humidity pack, and I certainly do not regret it. There's always a little humidity loss from a wooden humidor, and I've found that one 60g 75%-rated pack holds my Torino humidor perfectly on 71% humidity - just where I want it. It's perhaps a more expensive means of humidifying than most, but a) it works, and b) given the packs are supposed to last a couple of months, when you work out how much it costs over time, and think about how much the cigars themselves cost, it's really not much. Strongly recommended.

Very good price

Perfecto y rápido

Die Boveda-Packs mit 58% gehören für mich mittlerweile zur Grundausstattung, wenn es um die richtige Lagerung von Kräutern geht. Die Qualität ist wirklich top, und vor allem: Sie halten absolut zuverlässig das, was sie versprechen. Die Feuchtigkeit bleibt konstant auf dem gewünschten Niveau – weder zu trocken noch zu feucht. Das sorgt dafür, dass Kräuter ihr Aroma behalten, nicht austrocknen und langfristig frisch bleiben. Besonders praktisch ist die 2-Wege-Regulierung: Die Packs geben Feuchtigkeit ab oder nehmen sie auf, je nachdem, was gerade nötig ist. Dadurch muss man sich um nichts kümmern. Auch die Haltbarkeit ist sehr gut. Selbst nach längerer Nutzung fühlen sich die Bovedas stabil an und erfüllen weiterhin ihren Zweck. Kein Bröseln, kein Austrocknen, keine Qualitätsmängel. Für mich ganz klar: Hochwertiges Produkt, das exakt so funktioniert, wie man es braucht. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die ihre Kräuter optimal lagern möchten.

Produit original, rien à dire c’est top

This is an excellent no fuss product that easily does what it says to effectively maintain my cigars in tip top condition. A must have for people who appreciate fine cigars. Well worth the expense. It works as advertised. Automatically and seamlessly reduces and/or increases humidity as needed at the humidity level written on pouch. In fact I can use the product to verify humidity readings on my humidity gauge when I use the correct number of pouches for the humidor type and quantity of cigars. No more messy liquid containers in my humidor.
