Boveda 2 Way Humidity Control Large Reviews Summary

Humidity Control

Pros:

• "They work and maintain humidity for a reasonable time, and they're not expensive."
• "You just put it in your humidor and the Boveda packs do their job—set it and forget it."
• "These things are amazing. This approach seems to me to be clearly superior to the cartridges that take water and glycol."
• "Always fresh and seem to out last and out work the cheaper alternatives."
• "This product works! Noticably more terps in a sesh and way more mellow and even burning."
• "Bóveda packets are ready to use and do not require activation, water, or opening."
• "These are great! I have two packets in each of my small desktop humidors (about 20-30 cigars in each) and they stay between 67.5% to 68.5% humidity all of the time."

Cons:

• "I thought it would last longer during the summer months when the humidity runs higher."
• "Cost effectiveness would be my major complaint. These packets are not inexpensive considering how long they last and the number required for an average sized humidor."
• "Product was supposed to come with the 4 packets each individually wrapped and contained within a ziplock container that held the 4 individually wrapped packets... Very disappointed."
• "Based on so many positive reviews, I thought this would be a no brainer. While it does keep humidity above 65 for my cigars, I was really under the impression it would stay consistent within 3% but my humidor has not."
• "Item is not keeping a constant consistent level of 72% humidity is registering 58% to 64% on several Hydrometer meters Not happy Not cheap When a cigar Cost you $12 each times a 150 to lose from an item that is not maintaining proper."
• "The packs did work at 60% for about 2 months before drying up."
• "In a very practical manner, they are NOT reusable... I attempted to recharge/rehydrate them and found the process very slow and incomplete."

Cost and Value

Pros:

• "They’re even good for checking the accuracy on the cheap humidity gauges."
• "Great for travel humidors. Don’t throw them away when dried out, just thrown them into some distilled water and let them charge back up."
• "They will work for a few months, depending on the airflow in the humidor, and they can be recharged to be reused several times."
• "They last quite a long time before losing their hydration properties but you can rejuvenate them with 12 to 24 hours in water."
• "These Boveda two-way humidity packs are a must have item for my cigar tupperdors."
• "I’ve been using the Boveda humidification packs for at least 10 years and they’ve never let me down."
• "They are a good value and much easier than messing with the fluids and humidifiers."

Cons:

• "These things aren't cheap to buy but are cheap to make."
• "Got these for my humidor which I had been using humidity beads and solution prior. I tried these out because they just seemed like an easier solution, which by all counts they are about easy as can be. However, I got the 69% packs and it won't go over 59%."
• "One pack only gives me 61%~ in either humidor, the plastic one definitely is air tight, if not water tight."
• "I bought these to do what the label said Buy I only get 54% after a month."
• "Put 4 of the 72s in my 25 cigar Thermador and in 4 days my humidity was only at 45%."
• "The only thing I dislike is the packs only lasted 4 weeks before getting crunchy."
• "I like these Boveda humidity packs for ease of use, but trying to get to 50% in a wooden rectangular guitar case the 69% packs only yield about 28-30%."

Product Quality and Packaging

Pros:

• "Had a perfect smoke today so I’d say the pack is doing it’s job! Very happy."
• "works as advertised and super easy to use."
• "I use these in a pencil box to store saxophone reeds."
• "My humidor is always at nice, steady 68% humidity."
• "Chances are, if you're looking at this product, you already know it's the best in class..."
• "These are great for traveling with your cigars too."
• "This product does exactly what it states it will."
