Frequently Asked Questions
How many packets do I need for my humidor?
As a general rule: 1 packet for every 25 cigars. For 50 cigars: 2 packets. For 100 cigars: 4 packets. The more airtight your humidor is, the fewer packets you need. Refer to Boveda recommendations based on the size of your humidor.
Can I mix different RH percentages?
No—do not mix packets of different percentages. Choose 69% for standard preservation, 72% for Nicaraguan and Dominican cigars, or 65% for less airtight humidors.
Which version should I choose: 1, 2, or 3 packets?
The choice depends on the volume of your humidor and the number of cigars. As a guide, count 1 packet for every 25 cigars. The 1-packet version is suitable for a travel case or a small humidor; the 2-packet version covers a humidor with about fifty cigars; the 3-packet version is intended for humidors with about 75 cigars, or allows you to keep a spare on hand. A humidor that is not very airtight or is opened often may require an extra packet. The compact 70 × 64 mm format makes it easy to distribute the packets in any case. Monitor your hygrometer for the first few days to confirm the correct dosage.
Should I prepare a new humidor before placing the packet inside?
Yes, if your humidor is new and made of cedar. Dry wood absorbs a large amount of moisture: without preparation, it would exhaust the packet long before its usual 2 to 3 months of effectiveness and could dry out your cigars. First, perform a 24 to 48-hour seasoning: wipe the inside walls with a clean cloth lightly dampened with distilled water, without soaking them, then close the humidor with a moisture source. Once the wood is stabilized, place your 69% packets: they will only need to maintain the balance. This preparation is only done once, when you first start using the humidor.
Can I use the packet with a classic humidifier?
This is not recommended. A classic humidifier releases moisture continuously, without the ability to absorb it: when combined with the packet, it disrupts the two-way regulation and can lead to over-humidification of the humidor. The packet would then spend most of its time absorbing the excess and would run out faster. It is simpler to choose one or the other: either the 69% packet, which self-regulates in both directions, or a classic humidifier monitored by a hygrometer. If you are switching from one to the other, simply remove the humidifier, empty it, let it dry, and then place your packets in the humidor.
Where should I place the packet in the humidor?
The packet is simply placed inside the humidor, without any special mounting or holder. For even humidification, distribute the packets if you are using more than one: for example, one on each side, or one per level if your humidor has a tray. Ensure they remain in contact with the air inside the humidor: do not compress them between boxes or enclose them in a sealed compartment. Leave a small space between the cigars to promote air circulation. Thanks to its 70 × 64 mm format, the packet easily slides under a tray, along a wall, or between two rows of cigars.
Is the packet suitable for a travel case or travel humidor?
Yes, it is one of its most practical uses. Its compact 70 × 64 mm format fits into most travel cases and small humidors, where a refillable humidifier would be cumbersome. With no liquid to pour or refills to worry about, there is no risk of leakage in your luggage: simply place it with your cigars and close the lid. The two-way technology maintains moisture around 69% throughout your trip. In a small volume, a single packet is usually sufficient. Upon returning, simply check that it is still soft before using it again.
