gmalafouris Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I like to seal My boxes with a ziplock and boveda for long time storage, and then put them in a humidor. I noticed in a ziplock where i had put 1 boveda 65% inside the box and one between the ziplock and the outside of the box, that the boveda inside dried out and the one on the outside was still humid. So im thinking i should put all bovedas inside My boxes but are concerned that the cigars Will get mold if the boveda get in fysical contact with the cigars for like 5-15 years. Any experience about this in the group? Ive got 22 degrees celsius at home... and No alternative to lower the temp:( Thanks.

JBFurdog Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hi there. I have put Bovedas directly on cigars wrapped in cellophane. The boveda website says: CAN BOVEDA DIRECTLY TOUCH MY TOBACCO? Absolutely. Boveda is 100% safe to lay on / in / amongst your tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmalafouris Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Mhm, and can they be on top of the cigars, on the same spot för 20 years?..... Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Nobody can answer that with any certainty. Personally I would never seal a boveda inside a box of Cigars for any length of time. Too many risks. Just control your temp and rH in your Humidor itself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk I don’t think a Boveda pack will remain functional for anywhere near that long. Aren’t they only good for a few years at best?

gmalafouris Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Im thinking they should work as long as the ziplock bag is tight and placed in the shade.... but not sure. Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbandz Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 put your cigars in the ziplock and control the RH around them. I have done this for years, and have no problems with dried out or damaged Bovedas, and the cigars do fine. I do check mine twice yearly just to be sure and sleep well at night.............

Thats what i do to, but when i found a box that had a dried out boveda inside the box and a humid one on the outside im thinking that it takes time for the humidity to get in the box from the outside. But to be honest i didnt let the specific box of cigars rest in My humidor after i got the box, before i put it in the ziplock. So probably the cigars was a bit dried out when i got them.

garbandz Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I should have mentioned, No Boveda in the ziplock. Or in the box. Control the air OUTSIDE the ziplock. This way all the cigars in all the bags will be protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For double protection.....Skickat från min iPad med Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moryc Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I put my Bovedas on the bottom of the humidor with cigars on top, between cigars in the humidor and on top of the cigars. Never any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitzy Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I must be slow. If they are kept in your humidor why vaccum seal them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigFish Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I prefer them sandwiched between two pieces of pumpernickel, mustard and mayo! They are salty though, season with care! -Piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
