Why do I use Boveda 84% RH to season a humidor? Isn't that too high for cigars?
Yes, 84% humidity is too high for storing cigars. That's why you remove all cigars before you season a wood humidor with Boveda 84% packs, which are especially formulated for a precise, thorough seasoning.
Boveda 84% RH is especially for seasoning a wood humidor. (84% humidity is too high for storing cigars.) During seasoning, your cigars aren’t in the humidor, so store them cigars in a Boveda Humidor Bag or tupperdor with Boveda 69% RH.)
WHY USE BOVEDA 84% FOR SEASONING A WOOD HUMIDOR
-
ALL NATURAL: Boveda releases only pure water vapor into the environment inside your humidor.
-
PRECISE: Boveda scientists found to fully season a 100-count wood humidor, it needs about 100 grams of moisture. Each Size 60 Boveda 84% RH can release about 35 grams. (So for a 100-count wood humidor, use four Size 60 seasoning packs.)
-
THOROUGH: Over 14 days, Boveda 84% RH packs methodically raise the moisture in your humidor to about 65% RH—without disturbing the integrity and the geometry of the wood.
