What Was Life Like for Cigar Smokers Before Humidor Packs Were a Thing?
Before Boveda, cigar connoisseurs were relegated to humidifiers that only added moisture whether or not the cigars needed moisture. As host David Zimmel lamented in this cigar sit-down, he used to use water in his humidor before discovering Boveda. Using distilled water or sponges or other various foam and chemical solutions are messy, labor intensive and beyond frustrating. Discover how Boveda changed all that to make cigar storage and aging simple for cigar lovers. Learn more about Boveda’s history here.
If there’s one this cigar aficionados understand, it’s how Boveda stores and ages their cigars exactly how they like them, so they can indulge in the perfect smoke every time.
