What Boveda RH do I need for cigars?

Boveda 69% is the recommended RH for cigars. Additionally, Boveda makes specialty solutions to manage humidity challenges. See chart below to choose the right Boveda for your cigars. 

CHOOSE THE RIGHT BOVEDA RH FOR YOUR CIGARS
65% RH 

FOR A DRIER CIGAR PROFILE

For those who prefer a drier cigar
profile and/or easier burn; good
for long-term aging

69% RH 
FOR ALL CIGAR STORAGE

For wood and acrylic humidors, tupperdors,
coolerdors, and humidor bags; good
for long-term aging
72% RH
FOR DRAFTY HUMIDORS AND DRY ENVIRONMENTS
For those who prefer cigars with a higher
moisture profile and/or have trouble
maintaining the desired RH in their humidor
75% RH 
FOR EXTREMELY DRY CONDITIONS

For high altitudes, desert environments, etc. Do not use 75% RH in airtight containers, like tupperdors and humidor bags

84% RH FOR SEASONING WOOD HUMIDORS ONLY

For seasoning a new wood humidor before you add cigars or re-seasoning an empty wood humidor

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.

  • 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.
