How to Open a Boveda Humidor Bag
Opening a Boveda Humidor Bag for the first time can be tricky. Master the skill plus learn why it’s smart to use a specialty bag exclusively designed to store cigars. Each Boveda Humidor Bag is preloaded with a cigar humidity pack to protect the cigars inside for up to one year.
Information
DETAILS:
Affordable first humidor. Lightweight travel humidor. Practical cigar gift bag. Boveda Humidor Bags are engineered exclusively to protect cigars. For one (1) year, they preserve the flavor and condition of premium cigars with 2-way humidity control. Reusable—just replace the B69 packet inside and you're good to go for another year to:
- Acclimate new cigars
- Travel with cigars
- Revive dry cigars
- Store cigars while you season a wood humidor
HOW TO USE:
Boveda is safe to touch cigars.
To Open a Medium or Large Boveda Humidor Bag:
- Unzip the bag using the plastic zipper, which will reveal a heat seal.
- Apply firm pressure to pull the opening of the bag apart to break the heat seal. (It might feel like you’ll rip the bag, but you won’t. Just give it a really good tug.)
- Run your finger up and down to separate the rest of the opening. Add cigars. (The preloaded B69 packet is not individually overwrapped, so it’s ready to use.)
- Gently slide the zipper closure on top to securely seal the humidor bag.
To Open a Small Boveda Humidor Bag:
- On the sides of the bag near the top are notches to show you where to open the bag.
- Tear off the top of the bag, then pull the opposing top edges apart.
- Open the bag to insert your cigars. (The preloaded B69 packet is not individually overwrapped, so it's ready to use.)
- Gently run your fingers across the zipper closure on top to securely seal the humidor bag.
Replacing Boveda in a Humidor Bag:
After a year, replace the Boveda with a B69 packet. (Size 8 and Size 60 packets are available separately.)
- ONLY REFILL WITH B69. Relative Humidity (RH) above 69% is not recommended in a humidor bag. If the moisture level is too high, cigars can develop mold. B69 prevents mold growth while perfectly humidifying cigars.
- DO NOT mix different RH (Relative Humidity) levels within the same humidor bag.
- DO NOT use Boveda in the same humidor bag with other humidification products because they'll counteract each other, and reduce the efficiency of the Boveda.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Small Boveda Humidor Bag: 8.75"/22.225 cm x 4.25"/10.795 cm (Holds up to 5 cigars.)
- Medium Boveda Humidor Bag: 11"/27.94 cm x 8"/20.32 cm (Holds up to 15 cigars.)
- Large Boveda Humidor Bag: 15"/38.1 cm x 12"/30.48 cm (Holds up to 60-80 loose cigars.)
LIFESPAN:
A Boveda Humidor Bag can last a lifetime. Even though it says “one year” on the front, the bag is reusable. It’s the Boveda inside the humidor bag that lasts up to a year. After a year, replace the Boveda with B69. (Size 8 and Size 60 packets are available separately.)
ACCURACY:
Boveda maintains inside relative humidity (RH) of +/-2% when using the recommended number of packets. Factors that adversely affect the expected results include a drafty humidor and/or extreme dry ambient conditions.
INGREDIENTS:
Food-grade salt, purified water, and a food-grade thickening agent.
