How is a Boveda Humidor Bag different from a food bag for storing cigars?

A Boveda Humidor Bag is exclusively engineered for cigars, their storage needs, and to maximize the performance of Boveda humidity control. (A plastic food bag is not. ) More advantages of Boveda Humidor Bags for cigars include: preloaded with cigar protection that lasts up to a year;  reusable, just reload with new Boveda; made from durable materials; and good for short-term and long-term cigar storage.

WHY USE A BOVEDA HUMIDOR BAG FOR CIGARS

  • Preloaded with Boveda pack to preserve cigars for up to one year! 
  • Engineered to maximize Boveda 2-way humidity control.

  • High-density material is more durable than in-store baggies or food bags.

  • The same protective moisture barrier as a tupperdor, without the bulk.

  • Keeps humidity in and odors and dry air out. 

  • Good for long-term aging and short-term cigar storage.
  • Reusable. After a year, just refill with a new Boveda 69% RH pack. 

WHY NOT TO USE A FOOD BAG FOR CIGARS

  • Not airtight. Moisture leaks out. Humid and/or dry air get in. (Remember, fluctuating humidity affects how cigars smoke, burn, and taste. )

  • More frequent pack replacement. In just a few days, the air inside the bag will exchange itself with new air, which makes Boveda packs work harder. (It’s like trying to fill up a bucket that has a hole in the bottom.)

  • Costs more in the long run. (You'll pay with your money, time, and effort.)

  • Long-term cigar aging. 

WHEN TO USE A FOOD BAG FOR CIGARS

Temporary cigar storage. In a pinch, you can use a zip-to-close plastic bag and Boveda pack(s). (It’s better than letting cigars roll around unprotected in your backseat or in your golf bag.)
