      I recently got into cigars.. I only have around 10 at a time.. I purchased the 1 year zip lock bag from boveda. It came with a small bag inside it. I also just got my size 60 69% bags ill use when the small one that came with the bag gets stiff. I like the zip lock as it saves space.. and is easy to transport. I smoked cigars mainly when I golf and after a long day at the fire house, so the simple easy setup works great for me. Thx

    Interesting in the aspect that as a child growing up I never ever saw my Great Grandfather or my Uncles use a Humidor or a Humidity pack. They simply kept their Cigars stored in the box they came in. Lastly I also never ever saw them use a Butane Lighter/fill or refill a lighter with Butane. 🤷🏾

    My humidor holds about 74% very well with the cup of fluid and two jars of beads in the bottom. I'm hoping that adding two Bovida packs of 69% to it and alternating them monthly with the two in the Tupperdor will actually extend their use _and_ bring the average down a few points in the humidor.

      Yes, the different sized humidity packs don't go by cigar count, they go by the space inside the humidor. If you have a 50 count, then you need 2 packs to correctly humidify that space

    I should have watched this video before purchasing some Boveda packs. Living in Central Cali, it's very dry here and I bought the 69% packs but my humidor suffers to even get above 50% humidity. I should have started with the 85%, seasoned the humidor for a few weeks and then dropped down to the 75% packs. This was a great video and a lot of help. Thanks.

    • @MardoCigars
      @MardoCigars Рік тому

      If the humidor has any type of windows it maybe just the best you are going to get. Some try to put a type of sealant along the seams of the windows to help create a better seal. If it is solid wood check to see if when you close the lid it makes a swoosh from a good seal. If there is no resistance you may need to re-season your humidor. Some of the more inexpensive humidors will never have a proper seal. One other thing to mention is to not have it in direct sunlight or in a room that has a very low RH. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

    • @MardoCigars
      @MardoCigars Рік тому

      As long as you took the pack out of the individual cellophane wrapper then yes if the packs are still moist that means that the wood is not pulling the moister and ready for your cigars... put in a calibrated hygrometer for a day or two before putting the cigars in just to make sure its not higher than 72RH when the humidor has been closed for a day or two. If you humidor is running an RH higher without any Boveda pack inside then you need to get packs that have a lower RH level like 69% or if you have Cubans 65%. Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much....for the reply.

    • @MardoCigars

      Hi Joey, the Boveda packs work with out cutting them open. Just place the packs right inside the humidor no distilled water needed. If you have different shelves or or drawers it works best to have one in each area. You can tell when the Boveda pack needs to be replaced when the packs harden up. about every 3 to 4 months.

      Thanks for watching Guy! Boveda has a specific one for seasoning which is 84% and yes you can re-season and old humidor and I think Boveda is the perfect way to go you do not want to apply distilled water to really dried out wood it could damage the humidor beyond repair. Boveda is a good way where you do not have to wipe down the wood. Which you can a lot safer after seasoning with the 84% packs. Hope that helps.

      It all comes down to your preference. If your humidor is big enough and allows a good air flow with the boxes in then it is fine either way. One way to see what you prefer is to take a few out of the box and a few of those out of the cellophane so you have a sample of each. Wait a couple months and then begin to test them out and see if there is a difference you notice and which one you prefer. Good to have a few of each so you can test at different marks like 3 months, 6 months and a year. Thanks for watching.

    • @MardoCigars
      @MardoCigars Рік тому

      After two weeks the wineador should be well seasoned if it was a 320g 84RH as long as it was kept shut. It may be a good idea to have at least two calibrated hygrometers in different parts of the wineador, one in the drawer and one on a shelf. When you are first seasoning the wood shelves and drawers, the wood will draw a lot of moisture out of the pack and the inclosed air. You can remove the 84% pack and check on the RH level on your hygrometer the next day or two to see if it drops. You then can determine what RH you will need to put in to adjust just keep in mind the cigars can add a lot of humidity themselves especially Cuban cigars. Boveda recommends that for every 100 cigars you use 1 320g but if there are different areas like a draw you may want to add a 60g inside the draw if needed. Something else to consider as well is that if the wineador is pushed up to a wall that gets direct sunlight from the outside it may cause unwanted conditions in the humidor. Hope that helps reach out anytime if you have other questions. You can check out the Boveda site as well has a lot of useful information... store.bovedainc.com/collections/boveda-for-tobacco/products/boveda-seasoning-for-humidors-size-320-single-for-cigar

    • @MardoCigars
      @MardoCigars 2 роки тому

      Cubans tend to be rolled tighter than other cigars which can produce more humidity in your humidor. Getting it as close to 65% is ideal. A few things you can do is one always ensure your hygrometer is calibrated, two, you have enough packs for your humidor and in each compartment if it has shelves, and last make sure the humidor is in a good location in your house where it is not getting direct sunlight or blasts of air from an ac or heater. Hope that helps and you can check out the Bovedainc.com site for more information on storing Cuban cigars. Thanks for watching!

      Thanks for watching! If it is to put in one box of cigars I would say on 60g bag if you can fit in there if not I'd say at least 2 of the smaller ones. Cigar boxes sometimes comes with one small one inside that is intended to keep it safe while traveling but the it's with the notion that the box is being kept in a humidity and temperature controlled environment.

But will the other 3 packs last in the ziploc type small plastic bag they came in? Or do I need to store the remaining 3 packs some other way? Thanks!

    Great video.
    I've read that if you're using a cheaper humidor, like ones made in China (mine was $35 15/20 count, made in China) you should use the 75% Boveda pack as the China made humidors have a less reliable seal and more moisture is lost.
    Is this true?
    Thanks

    • @MardoCigars
      @MardoCigars Рік тому +1

      You may get one that has a good seal. See how the humidor behaves, but finding one with a good seal is a much better approach than going up in RH levels to compensate for it. If you are going for a less expensive humidor a good suggestion would also to avoid one that has glass or plastic windows which could have more issues of it not being sealed properly.

    I just wiped the inside of my humidor with distilled water. I used a sponge being careful not to soak it too much. Do I wait after 24 hours to place boveda pack in? Should I get the jar of humidity gel? On top of all that should have the humidification unit in there as well??? Help !

    • @MardoCigars
      @MardoCigars 2 роки тому +1

      Hi David, if you are seasoning your humidor, there is a specific Boveda set made for that with a much higher RH level or you can season your humidor with distilled water. Either way does take a period of time. Once the humidor has been properly seasoned then you can place the regular Boveda (65% to 72%) in your humidor or the gel pack but not both. The Boveda is designed to be the only humidity source needed as long as you have the right number of packs all at the same RH level. Check out some of our videos on seasoning humidors and our site or Boveda's for how many and what type of packs you need for your humidor. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

    • @MardoCigars
      @MardoCigars Рік тому

      Yes, Cuban cigars are rolled tighter than other cigars and produce a good amount of humidity and Boveda suggests using 65% to compensate. Also, if you have not already calibrated your hygrometer using the teaspoon of salt and distilled water method to see if your hygrometer is reading + or - any. Most of all the best test is to smoke them if they go out on you, they are too humid. Last using 65% will also help reduce the chances of mold or extra plume on the Cubans. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

      Hi Barry! If you are using a humidor that is air tight like most acrylic are you wood use a 69% RH. Now if your state is very humid you may need to switch down with a lower RH like 65%. Boveda draws in moisture when it is too humid in the humidor. I suggest starting out with 69% Just make sure to get a a digital hygrometer.

      For Cuban Cigars it is recommend to use the 65% instead of the 69%. If they are in a smaller acrylic 62% should be good but we would still recommend starting out with the 65% and if the humidity is still to high then go lower.

    • @MardoCigars
      @MardoCigars 3 роки тому +1

      With glass you generally do not get a perfect seal which you would want to use a higher level RH to compensate it not being airtight. For the size it is recommended to use one 60g pack every 25 cigars. If you have multiple shelves its a good idea to have one on every shelf. Best advice is to get a couple calibrated hygrometers so you can see where the RH is for each area of your humidor and you can decide if you need to go up or down in RH or if you need to add an extra one on a specific area. Keep in mind when using multiple boveda packs the RH level of the packs need to all be the same! Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

      They should be individually wrapped in plastic within the box which helps. But keep in a place like where you would keep your humidor. Not directly in the path of AC or sunlight.
