Boveda 65% Two-Way Humidity Control Packs For Aging & Long-Term Storage in Plastic & Wood Boxes – Size 60 – 12 Pack – Moisture Absorbers – Humidifier Packs – Individually Wrapped Hydration Packets

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.

Ideal for Cuban Cigars. I find they don't burn so well using the the 69%.

The best humidification unit on the market

There are no manufacture date so you don’t know how old the pack you receive is, hence always buy from vendors that have a lot of sells, or you be buying old stock that is already partially starting to dry up.

Had apond of product that was very dry an this product brought the moisture right back to where it should be. I would definitely recommend. I watched the moisture level with a cheap little digital moisture meter which I put inside the container and it was back to the correct moisture within 2 days. Definitely recommend.

I use these 65s for completely closed (air tight) cigar storage. I wouldn't use them for standard wood humidors as I think it's harder to maintain humidity as those tend to leak too much. I use 69s for the wood humidors, 65s for plastic lexans. They work well, but they come at a cost. they're very easy to use and don't require as much attention as the distilled water stones.

Excelente producto. Comple perfectamente el objetivo de mantener la humedad constante. Muy recomendable para todos los humidores de puros habanos.

2014年9月に購入して、約７ヶ月使ってきてからレビューを書く今更感を置いといて… そのままヒュミドールに置くだけで湿度管理ができてしまう楽さがすごいです。 多くのヒュミドールに付いてくるスポンジでは、精製水を使わないといけないとか、精製水を入れるタイミングとか、入れる量の加減とかで 折角の葉巻を過剰加湿や過剰乾燥などで無駄にしてしまう可能性があります。 Bovedaのパックでは指定されている湿度に+/-1%の正確さで2ウェイ制御し、過剰加湿も過剰乾燥もしません。 Bovedaパックでは置き場所も困りません。 公式サイトによるとBovedaパックを直接葉巻の上に置いても葉巻には影響がありません。 「それじゃ見栄えがちょっと…」という方は公式のホルダーがあるのですが、どうやらアマゾンJPショップには置いてないです…（2015/4/16時点） 私はSIGLOの50本入りヒュミドールを使っておりますが、中にはBovedaパックを2つ入れています。 今では葉巻を9本入れて湿度が64%~65%にすごく安定なのですが、15本以上入れる方は69%の方がよかったりするかもしれません。

Good deal for cigar smokers
