Should You Use Boveda Size 320 for Your Humidor?

Wondering why your might want to switch to Boveda Size 320 to balance humidity for your cigars?

One Boveda Size 320 is the equivalent of five Size 60 Boveda. This larger Boveda is more condensed power for storing cigars in a cooler, electric humidor, and medium/large humidor.

But a Size 320 isn’t just for big humidors! A Boveda Size 320 can absolutely be used in smaller humidors. Using more Boveda—or in this case, a larger Boveda—allows it to work more efficiently, so a Size 320 might last longer in a smaller humidor. BONUS: Boveda will never humidify beyond the RH on the packaging.

How long will a Boveda Size 320 last in your humidor?

The number of Boveda you use is based on the capacity of your container. In other words, how many cigars your container is designed to hold—not the number of cigars you have in there. Here’s a cigar storage primer for using Boveda:

  • 25-count cigar container: One Size 60 lasts about 3 months. One Size 320 will last about a year.
  • 50-count cigar container: Two Size 60 last about 3 months. One Size 320 will now last about 6 months.
  • 100-count cigar container: Four Size 60 last about 3 months. One Size 320 will last about 5 months. Heck, toss another Size 320 in there for about a year of aging perfection!

Elevate a Size 320 Boveda to your humidor’s lid, side, tray, or shelf with a Boveda Mounting Plate. Installs easy with the mounting magnet.
