Boveda – Humidity Control for Cigars
Where technical expertise meets inventive spirit: inside every Boveda pack are water and specific salts. A membrane allows water to either be absorbed from the outside or released into the surrounding air, depending on the need. This small packet reliably regulates the humidity of its environment. Dry cigars or even mold – a thing of the past! Even industry giant Arturo Fuente is impressed and uses Boveda in its boxes.
An American Story
Like so many stories in the U.S., Boveda started in a garage – with little more than the vision of its founders. They knew the idea had potential. But it took time for Boveda to develop into the seemingly magical solution that provides humidors of different sizes with the desired humidity levels.

In the early 2000s, things took off. Boveda – the Spanish word for "vault cellar" – partnered with larger cigar manufacturers. When the first U.S. states legalized cannabis, this industry also became interested in the practical humidifiers. Today, the accessory provider Xikar handles U.S. distribution for Boveda, which is why the packets now bear the Xikar logo.
The Boveda Product Range
If you're using Boveda Packs for the first time, the different percentage levels might seem confusing. But it’s actually quite simple: cigars are ideally stored at 69 or 72 percent humidity. If you prefer slightly drier tobacco for easier burning or want to age your cigars, 65 percent is also a good choice. Cannabis or dried herbs thrive at humidity levels between 58 and 62 percent. Lower levels are suitable for certain wooden musical instruments. But that is a science unto itself, one we don’t claim to know as much about as cigars.
Boveda Pack
Speaking of first-time use: If you're preparing to use Boveda for the first time, the Boveda Starter Kit can help. It's available for humidors up to 50 cigars or up to 100 cigars. It includes packets for 84 percent humidity for preparation and 72 percent for permanent use. Similarly practical is the Boveda One-Step Calibration Kit. It allows you to easily check the accuracy of your hygrometer: simply place the instrument in the included bag with the Boveda packet overnight – done!
Additionally, there’s the all-in-one solution, also known as Humidor Bags. They are the perfect solution for storing tobacco without a humidor. Simply place the cigars inside – it couldn’t be easier.
