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 good for keeping herbs from drying

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.

Very good price

Keeps everything fresh, would of got 5 stars if it was cheaper.

Keeps the cigars in good condition and in 69%

Working as expected

These are so simple to use and control my humidor humidity perfectly. The first two lasted about 6-8 weeks - you know when they are finished as they go from a gel consistency to rigid. They are expensive but it is so much easier to use and it is a case of fit in and forget.My cigars are perfect - I can control the amount of humidity I want by buying the pack needed to supply it - buying in the bulk does make this a very viable solution to humidor control.

Keeping my cigars full of flavour in my travelling humidor, just the job
