Boveda is our staff favorite for humidification. Whether it’s in a travel humidor, a desktop model, a cooler, or a piece of Tupperware, you can’t find an easier and more effective way to take care of your cigars. Simply unwrap the Boveda packs from the cellophane they ship in, pop them in your humidor, and stop worrying. Guaranteed within +/- 1 degree of relative humidity, it doesn’t get easier than this.

What % should you use? Check out the breakdown below:

65%: Recommended for Cuban cigars, or any high oil cigars with tobaccos from one country.

69%: The most popular option. Recommended for airtight humidors – Tupperware, coolers, the Boveda acrylic humidor, and top-shelf humidor models like Daniel Marshall.

72%: The best choice for traditional wood humidors, glass top humidors, or non-polymer travel humidors.

75%: For cigars stored in drafty humidors, or extreme conditions (deserts, high altitude, etc.)

84%: Only used for seasoning a wooden humidor. Do not use on any humidor actively storing cigars.
