Buy Boveda
Anyone looking to buy Boveda is choosing the global industry standard in humidity control. Since 1997, the American company has been developing patented humidity packs that both release and absorb moisture. This two-way technology protects cigars from mould and drying out, preserves terpenes in herb storage and prevents cracks in wooden instruments. Boveda thus replaces all conventional humidification systems with a maintenance-free, scientifically based solution.
The technology behind Boveda
Boveda was founded in Minneapolis when a humidor manufacturer, together with chemist Dr Albert Saari, sought an alternative to unreliable sponge systems. The result was a patented combination of saturated salt solution and a semi-permeable membrane that allows only pure water vapour to pass through. The brand name comes from the Spanish word for vault and stands for the safe protection of valuable goods. Today, global brands such as Davidoff and Arturo Fuente rely on Boveda humidity packs as standard inserts for their products. All ingredients are food-safe, FDA-compliant and pose no health risks. For Swiss customers, this means a solution that operates with the same precision they expect from domestic quality products.
A range for every application
The Boveda range covers different humidity levels for specific applications. For cigar care, packs with 69, 72 and 75 per cent relative humidity are available, supplemented by 84 per cent packs for the initial conditioning of new humidors. Boveda Cannabis Packs with 58 and 62 per cent preserve terpenes and aroma during herb storage. For musical instruments, Boveda offers 49 per cent packs that protect wood from the dry Swiss winter air. Sizes range from compact 8-gram packs for individual containers up to 320-gram packs for large collections.
Precision that protects
The key advantage of Boveda lies in its two-way technology. Whilst conventional humidifiers merely release moisture and can encourage mould growth in high humidity, Boveda actively regulates humidity in both directions. Accuracy is maintained to within plus or minus two per cent over the entire lifespan. The rule of thumb for cigar care is: one 60-gram pack per 25 cigars. It is not possible to use too many packs. More packs react more quickly to fluctuations and last longer. Anyone wishing to buy Boveda benefits from duty-free shipping from domestic warehouses, payment in Swiss francs and expert advice in German when ordering via a Swiss retailer.
