Step-by-Step Instructions for How to Use the Boveda Humidor Starter Kit

Watch how to use the Boveda Humidor Starter Kit to safely and properly season, then maintain a new humidor for months. Whether you treated yourself or just got a humidor as a gift and you don’t know where to begin, this starter kit is all you need to get a humidor up and running. (If your Boveda pack is overwrapped, remove that clear plastic before using. DO NOT OPEN the brown packet itself.) Every new wood humidor must be seasoned before adding in cigars. Prepping a humidor is easy when you use Boveda because it works automatically, plus there’s nothing more to add. Then use the enclosed Boveda 72% RH maintenance packs, so you’ll never have a problem managing moisture in a wood humidor. DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO USE THE BOVEDA HUMIDOR STARTER KIT STEP ONE: SEASONING 1. Remove the clear overwrap from the Boveda 84% RH: for seasoning. 2. Place all of the unwrapped seasoning packs inside the EMPTY wooden humidor. 3. Close the lid and DO NOT open the humidor for 14 days—no matter what the hygrometer readings are. 4. After 14 days, open the humidor. Remove the seasoning packs and discard them—they aren’t reusable. STEP TWO: MAINTENANCE 1. Remove the clear overwrap from the Boveda 72% RH: for maintenance. 2. Place all of the unwrapped Boveda 72% RH inside the humidor. For best results, you want Boveda’s water vapor to circulate in and around your cigars. So feel free to place Boveda: •  Under the cigar tray or shelf (If there are vertical slots, make sure your cigars don’t block these air holes.) • On top of your cigars • Inside a Boveda Holder that’s affixed to the lid. 3. Now you can move your cigars into your new humidor. 4. Congratulations, you’ve made it the 14 days. Time to celebrate and light up a cigar. Don’t mix RH levels within the same humidor. And do not use Boveda in the same humidor with other humidification products because they will fight against each other and reduce the efficiency of Boveda.
