[quote=KingoftheCove;4780162][quote=Stogie1020]Someone needs to chat with the shipping dept. at the monkey place... They put a tiny boveda inside each zip lock I order, and then tosss one loose into the box, too. Not sure what that last one is for...[/quote]
It’s for you…in case you need one for your own mailing purposes [/quote]

It's also nice to toss in a Herfador when traveling.

I just wish they used 65s instead of 69s…

Me too but think mebbe the 69 is a compromise between those who believe in 70/70 and those that prefer less. For me it’s no big deal to get a shipment with a 69% Boveda. I don’t smoke ROTT and since I freeze my cigars, let them acclimate for 3-ish months before I spark up a new one.

Agreed. I really don’t care about the fact that they use a 69 with regards to shipping.
I’m just a greedy bass turd, and I could make good use of the little 65s.
The 69s, not so much. Right now I have so many, that I’m experimenting with using them to recharge my larger 65s.
If that works, maybe I will find a use for those 69s.

Hahahaha! Horst, you and I must be cut from the same cloth. I like to repurpose the little 65ers too so also wish the vendors used them instead. Fo’ sure they’re easier to handle and take up less space than the plastic tubes of beads I bought years ago.

Speaking of beads, when I made the switch from them to Bovedas, I got super lucky and found a GREAT deal on 320g 65% packs so bought a bunch for my coolers. Since each is designed to humidify about 100 cigars, I hadda use 3 in each cooler. But believe it or not, I haven’t had to recharge any of them in the 5+ years since I made the switch.

prolly cuz your ambient RH on the island hovers between high 50's to low 70's...perfect for storing cigars...

True, true.

Just started doing the same. It works, pretty slow, but it does work.

Here's another repurpose use for the 69% Bovedas - I've noticed that some of the more delicate wrappers, Cameroon and Connecticut to be specific, got too brittle when I kept them at 65%. A ways back, Z mentioned separating the Cameroons and Connecticuts into a separate container / humidor and using 69ers. I had noticed that those two wrappers were prone to cracking so I followed his suggestion. As always, Z's advice was spot-on and haven't had too many cracked wrappers since then.


With that being said, the only gripe I have is that the 4 to 10g packs don't hold their charge too long so hafta be monitored and recharged more often than I would like. Of course iffin' I wasn't such a cheapchit, I'd buy (...oh gawd!...) a couple of 60g packs or go big and get a 320g and call it a day. I won't, of course, free is mo' bettah than buying. To badly paraphrase Al Davis, "Keep it cheap baby!"
