Easiest Humidor Seasoning Ever! 

Humidity packs is the greatest advancements in the cigar industry

I'm new to the cigar world. I just purchased my first Humidor. This video was just what I needed to start it up

As someone who is buying their first humidor, this is music to my ears 😊

Boveda has been a lifesaver when it comes to humidor seasoning and humidification. So easy and simple to use.

I still consider myself a noob when it comes to cigars and humidors, and Boveda packs have been a miracle for me when I bought/maintain my first humidor. I'm now in the process of upgrading to a 100+ humidor, and I'll only use Boveda packs in it. Y'all got yourself a loyal customer here for a long time!!! Thank you!

It was, like you guys said, super easy to season my humidor with the Boveda packs. Thanks!

Great video! I’m glad you talked about “re-humidifying” the packs. I used to do that, but not anymore!! Thanks!!

I am new to cigars but I used this in my new humidor and it was so easy for a newb to use. When I get another one I will be using their starter kits again.

I'm in the middle of this now. I'm pretty new to the whole thing and I saw somewhere to use one of these packs. So I did and now I'm waiting. So far it's easy.

People talk about the ‘good old days,’ but I’m old enough to know that they weren’t always that great. I started smoking cigars back in the 1980's and probably ruined a humidor by seasoning it using the ‘wipe it down with a damp cloth’ technique. This is a great advancement, and clearly the way to go!

I initially seasoned the humidor the wet sponge way, rubbing all surfaces, repeatedly over a week. I used to use the ‘pillows’ to maintain, but 4 years ago went to boveda and never changed. Good product!

I am so glad to see this product. I’m getting into cigars more. Over the years trying to keep cigars fresh and the humidity right has been a real lesson in frustration. I have been eyeing this product for awhile now, and I’m sold on it.

I seasoned and maintain my humidor the old water and sponge way and it works but takes more maintenance than i like. I have a bovida kit coming in the mail and can't wait to get my new humidor seasoned!

Great video! I'm using the 84% RH Bovedas to season 4 cedar trays in 2 Sistema tupperdores. I just put them in earlier this week and will probably let them sit for 3 weeks just to be on the safe side.

Great Video and very informative!

I have had a boveda inside an air tight Sistema container for close to a year and when I read my low/high levels off my Govee hygrometer they fluctuate no more than 1-2% tops. Amazing also is the pack stays soft. Good product.

I got my wood desktop humidor from a local cigar shop, did just as you guys have recommended, as my humidor is staying 65 and 69% humidity. Always good info, thank you for sharing, Tim!

Highly recommend you properly season that new box ! I have always used the old school way . Never damaged the humidor , but , the humidity varied drastically for months before it finally stabilized . Season with Boveda !!! Even if it costs more for the Boveda than the humidor costs , do it . Ultimately your CIGARS are the real investment . Treat em right and enjoy ! Awesome channel , great content 👍👍

My first humidor I used the liquid provided by manufacturer with the gel beads. Although it worked the variation seemed tough to control. Then I soaked it down with "winter" solution and re-seasoned. I saw this video and when I got my new humidor at Christmas from the same manufacturer I decided to try the Boveda kit. So far so good. Humidity in my house is in the mid 40% range. I threw 4 84% packs into my 100 cc humidor. After 48hrs it is at 75%. These packs work so well that I bought a couple 72% for my tupperware and 1st humidor to maintain humidity around 68%.

Great content thx!

I have 2 smaller desktop humidors that I seasoned the old school way with a 'damp' cloth. One of them is fine the other just does not hold the humidity quite right I think. I was given another wooden 150 count humidor with 3 drawers for Christmas. I used 2 of the Boveda seasoning kits in there and humidity seems to be doing well. I am planning to get another seasoning kit for that other humidor.

That’s how I’ve done all my humidors and it’s well worth it 👍

Im smoking a Montecristo 1935 Anniversary (Belicoso) too. It is Fantastic!

I bought a cheap wooden humidor of Amazon and used the Boveda starter packs and the 72’s after the two weeks. Soon after I noticed the humidity wasn’t holding properly at all. I contacted Boveda and they sent me for free some 75’s, and a hygrometer calibration kit. After some frustration I gave up on the wood humidor and switched to a tupperdor with Boveda packs and it’s been perfect. Boveda’s customer service was great and they didn’t have to send me anything free, but they did and that’s pretty damn cool!

You the Cigar man, bro.....Carlos from Da Bronx!

I wipe and soak inside with distilled water and sponge; let sit for 24 hrs, then repeat again and let sit another 24 hrs. Then put a large Boveda 72% and let sit for 24 hrs and ensure hygrometer is calibrated and showing proper humidity levels. then use and monitor for a few days to ensure all is good. the larger pack mounted using the mounting plate work like a dream. I am in a dyer climate and thet keep my sticks dialed!

This is the best way to setup your humidor

Old school method for me. Something about it I just prefer. Usually a lot quicker aswel

You definitely can rehydrate the packs takes about a week they don't last as long as a fresh pack but they definitely hold the same humidity

Can I leave my digital hygrometer in the humidor with the 84% boveda packs during the 2 weeks of seasoning?

ive got the smal boveda acrylic humidor and i think i even managed to screw setting that up the first time because i am more than capable of doing that, ive just re-done it a few days ago and i think (fingers crossed) ive got it right this time, but i have a habit of opening it on a daily basis to just pick up a cigar for a few seconds, should i be doing that or just leave it, and if so how long should i leave it for after first setting it up?

I just ordered one of these starter packs about $22.00 for a large pack and about $17.00 small pack from Amazon.

Love that 1935. Stays in my humidor.

I totally understand the how boveda makes it really easy to maintain the humidor. I'm more into the old school way. I know one day, I will go to boveda, bit I enjoy the science of maintaining my three humidors. How about doing a video on seasoning and maintaining humidity old school.

So I’m still somewhat green to the world of cigars, but I have a question. I was given a cigar box from a shop, could I put some Boveda packs in that cigar box to add as a humidor, until I save enough money to buy a humidor?

If my humidors are several years old, should season them again using Boveda? Thanks

I started with a cheap desktop humidor with Boveda. Worked out pretty quickly that it was a terrible option. I now use a tupparedore and had the same 69% boveda pack for almost a year. Set it and forget it.

I'm planning on building a hardwood humidor lined with 5mm of Spanish cedar. Any thoughts on how long to season this for? I'd imagine no longer than the 2 weeks for an MDF humidor as they're more absorbant.

Please can someone explain. While preparing the humidor, when will we put the 72% bovedas just after 2 weeks have passed?

I am seasoning my humidor now, but only have 69% Boveda packs (regular, not seasoning kit). Will this work still? Possibly letting it season for longer to make up for the higher humidity seasoning packs like 84%? I'm trying to avoid having to order the seasoning kit or distilled water method - if possible. Thank you!

just purchased a 450 ct humidor 3 shelves...how many starter kits do I need

Noob question but where do I put my current cigars whilst I’m seasoning my humidor? Do I get some Tupperware or something similar?

Just got a humidor and 3 boxes of cigars. Will the cigars last by time humidor is seasoned? Or should I just put them in the humidor with a 72% pack

I watched so many seasoning vids until i had a headache. Boveda is a no brainer easy way to season and store you precious investments, cigars! If you dont use these your simply nuts. Lol

Haha I freaking called it when I said that resoaking packs would mess them up. I keep recharged packed to only boost humidity when I see it has dropped significantly. Didn't realized it fwas 90% thought. The water just freely moved back through thr membrane and during soaking you have lost salt to the soaking water. That is why they are slimy when soaked again.

Just bought my first humidor. If I can hold up to 280 cigars how many boveda seasoning packs do I need?

My "90%" Boveda's are kicking ass and depending on ambient keeping my 300 ct Thermoelectric between 65% and 69%. But dont tell anyone!

video on cigars that are popular at all cigar shops......

How long you should humidify newly bought cigars before smoking? I'm still a noob to the cigar world. Smoked my first cigar right out the box and it was dry and an unpleasant experience

Might be dumb question but after you use the 84% do I “have” to use 72% or can you go right to like 68% for example.

TLDR: Its too humid and I don't know the root cause, help. I ended up going old school method as that was what how my kit came, seasoned with distilled water, calibrated my hydrometer (one analogy and one digital) with the salt cap method to 75%RH and used distilled water and PG liquid in my humidifier. of course leaving 48 ours between each step of seasoning, acclimating and then sensors in and then humidifier. its been a couple weeks now of back and forth testing but I can seem to get my humidor down below 75-80%RH. I'm concerned I have over seasoned and or (more likely) my humidifier may be too large for my humidor (its the one that came with my Savinelli desktop humidor- potentially 50 cigar capacity). I have doubts about this as its the one that came with it but I have a smaller humidifier I can down size to. Does anyone have any times or tricks that could help me, I am now to this! thanks in advance.

What humidor is that?

I have to use a 84 in my box to keep it around 65-70. It works, but I have to replace it every month or so. Cheap ass box!

What about a yearly season? Is it the same process?

So I have to damp my humidor first or what ???

That’s the second time I was scrolling and thought Tim had Nerdrotic as a guest.

Can you leave cigars in while your seasoning

We just bought a 20-30 count humidor for a relative that we’re going to give to him for Christmas. I found out about the 84% Boveda packs when I was in my local B&M grabbing a couple cigars to put in tbe humidor for him, so I grabbed one of the packs to get him started. Could seasoning a humidor be any more simple? What a great idea!

I like the concept, but 2 weeks??? I'd rather use the distilled water and wait the 24hours. I still use the packs even after re-seasoning...

What if you rub it down with a sponge and do the Boveda’s? Do you really have to let it sit for two weeks? It seems like a whole lot of time man.

So if I’m rehydrating a boveda pack… just shake the shit out of it is what I’m hearing.

Hey tim whats yalls thoughts on Graycliff and Man Of War havent had Graycliff yet, but Man of War is great. I wanted to know if you would do a review on Graycliff?

What about an electric humidor?

What happened to Rob?

IPhone or apple watch, funny way to say calendar

I need help I have absolutely tried everything I got my first Humidor a few months ago and I have done the seasoning and let it sit for 2 weeks. And it gets up to 70% then once I add my cigars into the Humidor I notice it started dropping. I’m running out of ideas

Boveda kept Nate but not Rob. WTF Boveda

Analog hygrometers work, I’ve proved it, my assumption is these guys that don’t like them never properly seasoned a humidor before using them. My analog is fairly accurate.

Boveda packs don’t work

BUYER BEWARE!!! product works well for a while, then it stops!!! both Temp and Humidity go off and your cigars die!! i am now out $560 and the vendor just sends me canned email responses and tells me to go to the reseller!!! Wayfair, which is even worse of a company!!! I am going to Consumer protection Agencies to at least get some of my money back. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS vendor. save your money and spare your cigars

Wonderful lesson here but I have a few 150 count humidors and I've never had to season them and they are working great at 65 percent humidity. Is there something I'm missing here or what????
