- HOW IT WORKS: Our patented two-way containerled Boveda packs compensate the atmosphere inside your container. When water vapor is needed, Boveda releases the cleanest and most purified humidity. When there is too much moisture in your container, Boveda absorbs the excess. With Boveda, you do not have to adjust any valves or figure out if you put in too much or too little water and you will never have to fill or refill your device with water again - ever.
- RESTORE & MAINTAIN: Boveda is the most effective way to properly age and store at home. Simply place the Boveda packet in your travel, desktop, electronic, or wooden container right on top of your or use our Boveda Holder. If your Boveda is wrapped in a clear overwrap, remove the overwrap before putting Boveda in your container. One of the best benefits of Boveda is that it is maintenance free - all the guesswork has been eliminated.
- PRECISE container: Automatically restores and maintains humidity in any type of storage—desktop container, cabinet container, travel container, wineadors, coolerdors and tupperdors. You’ll experience a new experience with Boveda-Protected packets. Boveda’s patented formula uses all-natural salt and water to ensure an exact Relative Humidity (RH). Choose from four different RH (65%, 69%, 72% and 75%) and place Boveda in your container or container and close the lid—it’s that easy.
- 69% RH: Which RH pack do you need? This 69% RH level is the most popular RH for premium . The most critical aspect to storing and aging is eliminating the cycles and fluctuations in humidity. All Boveda are accurate to +/- 1% of the RH printed on the pack. Use in any size container! Use one (1) Size 60 Boveda for every 25 TOTAL a container can hold. Example: For a 100- capacity container, use four (4) Size 60 Boveda at once. For bigger container, use Size 320 Boveda.
- ABOUT US: Boveda devoted the past 23 years to the science of two-way container, we know you will benefit from our commitment to precision. Becoming the global leader in any category does not happen overnight, but Boveda did this and continues to do so since 1997. Today, that persistence looks like millions of two-way container packets getting shipped out each year to protect your finest and tobacco related products.

Probably last year’s bud that wasn’t stored great. If he’s selling pounds cheap it’s almost guaranteed it’s old shit. It probably was pretty dank when it was fresh but it’s probably dried out.
You can easily rehydrate old bud, it won’t be like it was fresh but it’ll smoke better. Don’t put any fruits or vegetables in jars with your weed it can cause it to become too moist and mold. Instead what you want are these. It’s 2 way humidity control so your weed won’t dry out but it won’t become too moist either.
I'm a cigar lover so I'd suggest cigars. $100 can buy you a 5 count travel humidor, 5 good cigars, a cutter, and a lighter.
My personal recommendation on the 5 cigars are:
These cigars are very good quality and tasting. They cover a range of flavors and are cigars I always recommend to new smokers, nothing here is strong and over powering. Depending on how many groomsmen you have, you can cut some of these away and double down on the others. All of these cigars are available in 5 packs. I would buy them from JR Cigars or Small Batch. The JR Cigars Reddit coupon code is "RCIGARS15" for 15% off (some brand exclusions). The SmallBatch Reddit coupon code is "rcigars" for 10% off.
The Travel Humidor
The Lighter
The Cutter
You should also order these to put one in each travel humidor to keep the cigars in perfect condition. Otherwise, they'll dry out on you.
Let me know if you have questions.
EDIT: You'll also need a can of butane. To you know, fill the lighters with fluid to actually light the cigars :)
> If I get a box of these (or whatever else) then should I get them earlier and rest them in a tupperdor to age for a wee while before March?
It doesn't hurt to let your cigars age for a wee while, buying them now and smoking them in march should only be a good thing for them.
For myself, I like a minimum of 1 month before I smoke, which means that they've had time to settle and adapt to the humidity/temp of my tupperdor. some people age some cigars 5 years +! it's all preference really.
> If I do have to age in a tupperdor, what Boveda pack should I go for? 62/69/72? Is there a rough length of time to age?
I use the 69 boveda packs, it's essential that you have a hygrometer/temperature device in there as well (they're cheap enough on Amazon) so that you can monitor the humidity and temperature.
I bought the 10 pack of 8gram boveda 69s link, they're little sachets that are particularly good for shipping.
In an air tight container like a tupperware box, it's harder for the box to cool down, so having the mini packs means you can add/remove them to maintain the correct temp/humidity - i have about 5 in mine at the moment (the tupperware box size also makes a difference on how many you need to use.
> There is a B&M shop near me in Glasgow that I could pick up a single to try, but again, if I buy a single should it be aged first?
again, i'd leave it in there a month personally - just to settle and then smoke away and see if you like it. especially if you're looking at dropping £100+
> So, if the Secretos are good then hurrah!
Not had them myself, but they're a solid 4/5 on cigar-review.org! so smoke away!
Also, Congratulations!
Welcome man!!! Cigars are amazing!! This bunch of jerks here is amazing.
Enjoy the hobby man!! Also there is a lot of info here as well!
You buy the humidity packs at certain percentages. You keep it with the bud in an airtight container (out of the light preferably) and it keeps the the humidity in the jar at that percentage. Lol at least that's how I understand it works.
Amazon is believe is the cheapest and these are great for up to 7 grams.

These take out the guesswork
If I order these, do you know how many I would need to use at a time (I have about 15 Puritos)?
Do I put them in right away, or wait until I think I might smoke the Cigars?
Once they're in the box/bag/whatever, how long do they keep the cigars fresh?
