Boveda Packs

 


What Makes Boveda Packs Different?

Boveda is the #1 name in humidity packs and for good reason. They founded and discovered the science. Mix certain salts with water and together they regulate humidity. Boveda’s packaging allows the cleanest, most-purified water vapor to either be emitted or absorbed. Boveda acts on the environment around it. By adding and absorbing moisture, Boveda keeps the contents of a sealed container at a precise relative humidity level. 

  • 2-Way Humidity Control: Maintains a stable RH by both releasing and absorbing moisture
  • No Activation Needed: Just place it in your humidor and forget it
  • Precision Accuracy: Available in multiple RH levels to match your needs
  • Zero Maintenance and No Mess: No need to refill, wipe, or monitor water levels

You can place your Boveda humidity packets right on top of your cigars and Boveda starts working immediately. Boveda is FDA compliant and food safe. Boveda’s ingredients are all-natural. Inside each Boveda is salts and water sealed in a leakproof membrane. But you should never open the brown packet itself. It is best to replace the Boveda packs in your humidor after 3 months. So you'll probably need to purchase our Xikar Boveda 12 or 24 pack to make sure you have enough to last.
