Boveda Technology Works Two Ways

Whether its food, cigars, cigarettes, RYO, chewing tobacco or herbal medicine, these products lose their character if the humidity isnt right. Too much humidity is just as bad as being too dry, especially when mold enters the picture. Bovedas patented technology adds or removes humidity as conditions require, maintaining the specific moisture content engineered into each pack.

Available in three sizes and a range of RH levels, theres a Boveda for every package, container, and personal taste.

What Humidity Level Do I Need?

Boveda is available in relative humidity levels of 62, 65, 69, 72, 75, and 84% (exclusively for seasoning). All Boveda are accurate to +/- 1% of the RH printed on the pack in an air-tight environment.

Humidors are not air tight. Depending on humidor quality and ambient conditions, its not uncommon for the actual RH to be stable anywhere from 2-6 points below the Boveda RH youve chosen. This is why we recommend 72% for your first set after seasoning. If its 72 on the nose, youre perfect. If it drops a few points, youre still perfect.

Based on how your humidor performs, you can decide whether to move to 62, 65, 69, or 75.

How Do I Know When Boveda Needs To Be Replaced?

All Boveda will turn into a solid wafer when theyre dead. So its short of that, when there arent many soft spots left, that youll want to replace them. Pronounced crystallization and hardening of the corners first is completely normal.

What Makes Boveda Different?

All humidification products are not created equal, and we know its difficult to cut through all of the misinformation out there.

Below are some simple points which we believe will help consumers (and retailers) understand the important differences between the various types of humidification on the market. If you think your humidification device is "regulating" to a certain RH level because the packaging says so, it's very simple to test.

Place the (filled) device in a clear air-tight container with a hygrometer and let it sit for 24 hours. Only Boveda will still be reading at the RH level it's supposed to, because it's the only true two-way humidity control.

How Many Boveda Do I Need?

Humidor Capacity Wood Plastic 0-50 2+ 1 50-100 2-4+ 1 100-150 4-6+ 2 150-200 6-8+ 2 200-250 8-10+ 2-3

How Do I Choose The Right Number Of Boveda?

• We recommend using at least one large 60 gram Boveda per 25 cigars your humidor holds, even if it isnt full.

  Its still air space and wood that needs proper humidification.

• Because Boveda will never over-humidify beyond the number on the pack, using more than is recommended will just work more efficiently and need to be replaced less often.
• Air-tight containers like plastic tupperdors and travel humidors don't need as much horsepower to keep humidified because they don't leak as much air.

The Boveda Isn't Reaching The Number On The Pack - What's Wrong?

This is a common question and the solution always boils down to one (or more) of these three issues:

• You didn't season your humidor or it needs to be
