72% Humidity Packs for Wood Humidors

Q: How long does a Valet pack last?

A 60g Valet pack typically lasts 3 to 6 months. Replace it when it feels hard and has no give. The 84% pack is seasoning only: about 14 days, then remove it.

Q: What RH level is right for me?

Pack RH% plus container equals the effect. 69% is all-purpose: maintenance in plastic (~69–71% RH) and aging in wood (~65–67% RH). 72% is wood maintenance (~69–70% RH). 65% is aging in plastic only. 75% is dry climates and drafty boxes. 84% seasons wood for about 14 days and must not be used in plastic.

Q: How many packs do I need?

One 60g pack per 25 cigars of container capacity, by volume not fill. A 50-cigar humidor needs two 60g packs even if it is half full.

Q: What's the difference between the 60g and 8g packs?

60g packs are for desktops, tupperdors, and humidors. 8g packs are for travel cases and tubes, not a substitute for a 60g pack in a desktop.

Q: Do I need to do anything before putting the pack in?

No. Remove the outer packaging and place the pack in the container. Do not tear it open, soak it, or activate it.

Q: Will the actual RH in my humidor match the pack's rating exactly?

Not in wood. Spanish cedar absorbs about 2–4% RH, so the inside reading sits below the pack rating. Plastic holds near the rated RH. Semi-airtight containers drop about 1–2%.

About the 72% Two-Way Humidity Pack

Valet 72% humidity packs are the standard two-way pack for cedar-lined wood humidors. Cedar absorbs some moisture on its own, so a 72% pack settles your cigars at roughly 69 to 70% effective humidity, the classic range for everyday wood maintenance.

Who the 72% pack is for

Cedar absorbs 2 to 3% humidity on its own, which is why a 72% pack is the right starting point for wood. It works for desktop humidors, large floor-standing cabinets and any cedar-lined storage where consistent daily maintenance is the goal.

If you're in a moderate climate and your humidor seals reasonably well, start here. In a dry climate or a drafty humidor, step up to the 75% humidity pack.

Not designed for plastic containers. In a sealed tupperdor or pelican case, 72% has nowhere to equilibrate and will over-humidify your cigars. For plastic storage, use the 69% humidity pack or the 65% humidity pack.

How many packs do I need?

Use one 60g pack for every 25 cigars your container can hold. Size by capacity, not by how full it is. A 50-count humidor takes two packs even when it is half empty.

For travel cases and tubes, use one 8g pack per 5 cigars.

How long does a pack last?

A 60g pack lasts 3 to 6 months. Replace it when it feels hard and has no give.

Two-way and salt-based

The pack adds moisture when your container is dry and absorbs it when it is wet. Salt's unique chemical properties let it hold a steady humidity level as moisture changes. Salt-free packs can't maintain steady levels over time like salt-based packs can. Made in the USA with reverse-osmosis filtered water. Non-acidic.

How long does a Valet pack last?

A 60g Valet pack typically lasts 3 to 6 months. Lifespan depends on how often you open your humidor, your local ambient humidity, and the size of your container. A pack that feels hard and has no give has reached the end of its life and should be replaced.

What RH level is right for me?

It depends on your storage container and personal preference. The 65% pack is favored by purists and long-term agers who want a dry, Cuban-style profile. The 69% pack is the most versatile, and a solid everyday choice for most collectors. The 72% pack is best for recovering dry cigars or for wood humidors in low-humidity climates. The 75% pack is designed for drafty humidors or extreme dry environments. The 84% is a seasoning-only pack and not for ongoing storage. See the full system.

How many packs do I need?

Use one 60g pack for every 25 cigars your container can hold. This is based on container volume, not how many cigars are actually inside. A humidor sized for 50 cigars needs two packs, even if it's only half full.

What's the difference between the 60g and 8g packs?

The 60g pack is for standard desktop humidors, tupperdors, and larger storage containers sized for up to 25 cigars. The 8g pack is sized for small travel cases, individual cigar tubes, and single-stick holders. Because Valet packs work in both directions, a 60g pack in a small travel case will not over-humidify your cigars. It will reach equilibrium and hold there. That said, using the right size for your container is better for pack efficiency and lifespan.

Do I need to do anything before putting the pack in?

No. Remove the pack from its packaging and place it in your humidor. Do not tear open, soak, or activate it. The pack starts working immediately on contact with the air inside your container.

Will the actual RH in my humidor match the pack's rating exactly?

Not necessarily. The rated RH is the equilibrium target the pack holds to, but the actual reading in your container depends on your container type, local ambient humidity, and how often the humidor is opened. A wood humidor with cedar lining will typically read a few points lower than a plastic container using the same pack. See how each container type affects your RH.
