    Default Anyone use Boveda humidity control packets?

    BovedaDirect

    a friend of mine swears by them. Seems a rather economical way to eliminate the maintenance concerns...

    anyone use them?

    cool. What RH% did you go with? Their site says in a sealed container it will hold the specified RH but what about in a real humidor? does it drop 4 points like they warn it might?

    Thats cool - which ones did you go with? I use the 69. I think I am going to sign up for autoship and be done with it.

    72% was all the store by me had. And they were $6 ea. $2 nyc premium? this freakin city......

    autoship seems to be the best bet/least PITA. If this works out well im going to sign up for it.

    I think 72% is a good way to go. My Humidor is a decent size (holds 250 cigars I think) and tends to hold its humidity very well so the 69% have worked out for me (longer than the few months they suggest). But getting something in the mail is a nice reminder.

    Thanks for posting this thread - just the reminder I need to sign up for autoship. I think you will be happy packets!

    Cheers
