What RH Do I Need for Tobacco?
RH is relative humidity. For cigars, RH is vital because it affects how your cigars taste, light and burn.
Boveda comes in five RH levels for cigars—one to season a wood humidor and four more to protect cigars inside a humidor. The RH to choose depends on your humidor, your cigars and your climate.

“I wish I knew about this product sooner. I never could keep the humidity correct in my humidor. I tried the sponge, shot glass, and those crystal tubes. Nothing worked. OMG I wish I knew about this sooner. It’s so easy to use and the best part is that it actually works. I recommend this to all my friends now.”
Simple, easy, works, gets ‘er done kinda product. Thanks.
“Highly recommend this product. I drop 2-3 of these 72s into a large 50+ cigar humidor and let them go to work. Thought free, works great, opened each time no mold, aged properly. 70/70 (temp/humidity) is the key, these do it for me at about a 69-70% humidity in a VERY dry environment.”
Great for Cigar Lovers (beginners and aficionados)
“I was skeptical at first… Surprisingly, they work extremely well, and I have not had any issues with these thus far. I check my humidors daily, and these last for a while (depends how many cigars and what kind of humidor you have). Also, they keep the humidity at the levels advertised on them.”

HOW IT WORKS
Precise, maintenance-free cigar care with Boveda all comes down to two all-natural ingredients: pure water and natural salts. Combining the two into a saturated solution, we then seal it into a packet we refer to as a water-vapor permeable “reverse osmosis” membrane.
This special membrane allows Boveda to provide 2-way humidity control for cigars. Boveda compensates the atmosphere inside your humidor. Whenever water vapor is needed, Boveda releases the cleanest and most purified humidity. Whenever there’s too much moisture in your humidor, Boveda absorbs the excess.
It’s the fastest and most efficient product on the market today to protect your cigars, and we stand by that claim 100% of the time.
Tobacco FAQs
All Tobacco FAQs- Don’t mix RH levels within the same humidor.
- Don’t use Boveda in the same humidor with other humidification products because they will fight against each other and reduce the efficiency of Boveda.
- It’s common that the actual RH of your humidor will stabilize up to 5 points lower than the Boveda RH you’re using because of humidor quality and ambient dryness. All Boveda are accurate to +/- 2% of the RH printed on the pack in an airtight environment. Ideal RH for cigars can range from 60%-72% depending on your cigar inventory.

Watch How To Set Up a Humidor
Before you add cigars to it, every wooden humidor needs to be seasoned to:- Prevent the wood from robbing your cigar’s essential moisture. (Seasoning raises the wood’s moisture level so it’ll be in equilibrium with your cigars.)
- Create a better seal for the lid, which keeps moisture from escaping.
- Use (1) Boveda Size 60 for every 25 TOTAL cigars your humidor can hold. Example: For a 100-cigar capacity humidor, use four (4) Size 60 Boveda at once.
- Remove your cigars from your humidor and move them into a closed Tupperware® container, cooler or a Humidor Bag with 69% Boveda.
- Place the 84% Boveda seasoning pack(s) inside your empty wooden humidor.
- Close the lid and don’t open the humidor for 14 days—no matter what your hygrometer readings are. (The wait is worth it. Trust us.)
- After 14 days, open your humidor, remove the Boveda seasoning pack(s) and discard them—they aren’t reusable.
- Move your cigars into your well-seasoned humidor and add new Boveda packs in your desired RH—65%, 69%, 72% or 75%. This handy chart will help you choose the right RH for you.

- If you live in a dry climate or experience seasonal dryness, we recommend re-seasoning a wooden humidor one to two times a year.
Yes, if a windeador has wood trays and shelves, you should season the unit before adding cigars. Seasoning conditions the wood components inside the wineador. Remove the clear plastic overwrap before using. Do NOT open the humidity packet inside. Place the Boveda 84% packs inside an EMPTY unplugged electric cabinet/cooler. Close the door and don’t open the cabinet for 7 days. After 7 days, open the cabinet, remove the Boveda seasoning packs and discard them—they aren’t reusable. Move your items back in, plug in your cabinet & add new Boveda 69% RH maintenance pack (sold separately). NEVER MIX the 84% with any other %RH.
