What Boveda RH do I need for tobacco?
B65 maintains 65% RH—For those who prefer a drier cigar profile and/or easier burn; good for long-term aging.
B69 maintains 69% RH (Most prefered RH for premium cigars)—For wood and acrylic humidors, tupperdors, coolerdors, and humidor bags; good for long-term aging.
B72 maintains 72% RH—For those who prefer a higher moisture profile and/or have trouble maintaining the desired RH in their humidor because of the environment they’re in and/or a drafty humidor
B84 seasons/preconditions empty wood humidors. For seasoning a new wood humidor before you add cigars or re-seasoning an empty wood humidor
GOOD TO KNOW:
- DO NOT mix different RH (Relative Humidity) levels within the same humidor.
- DO NOT use Boveda in the same humidor with other humidification products because they’ll counteract each other, and reduce the efficiency of the Boveda.
- Boveda maintains inside relative humidity (RH) of +/-2% when using the recommended number of packets. Factors that adversely affect the expected results include a drafty humidor and/or extreme dry ambient conditions.
