How do I set up a Boveda Humidor?

One-Time Seasoning

Season your new Boveda Humidor while it’s completely empty—no cigars (but it’s ok to leave the holder and dividers in place):

1. Remove the clear overwrap from all three Boveda B84 Size 60 packets. 
2. Place all three packets side by side inside the empty humidor. (Do not stack the packets.)
3. Close the lid and keep it closed for 14 days—no peeking. This two-week period is crucial for allowing the wood to fully absorb the moisture it needs.
4. After 14 days, your humidor will have reached its ideal state. Lift the lid and remove the Boveda B84 Size 60 packets. (Dispose of them; Boveda seasoning packets cannot be reused.) 

Re-seasoning your Boveda Humidor is unnecessary as long as you maintain the humidity using a Size 320 Boveda and replace it with a new packet every six months.

First Six Months

1. Remove the Boveda Holder from the upper lid of your humidor. Remove the clear overwrap from the Boveda B69 Size 320, but keep the packet inside its cardboard carrier.
2. Place the Boveda in the holder behind the aluminum grille. Reattach it onto the lid—strong rare-earth magnets will secure the holder in place. 
3. Add the cigars of your choice into your Boveda Humidor for precision storage and aging.
