Bóveda Packet Calculator
The number of Bóveda packets to use depends on the cubic volume of the humidor—regardless of how many cigars are actually stored inside.
As guide, start with two Bóveda packets for the first 50 cigars the humidor can hold, plus one additional packet for every 50 cigars the humidor can hold thereafter. For example, a 75-count humidor would need three Bóveda packets—two for the first 50 the humidor can hold and one additional packet for up to the next 50 cigars the humidor can hold.

For humidors made in China...
Some humidors, although made well, lack the proper moisture barrier on the bottom-side of the humidor. For some reason, some humidor manufacturers give great attention to the quality of the sides, top and seal locations of their humidors but neglet the side that nobody sees—the bottom. This is particularly common in humidors that are made in China. An enormous amount of moisture evaporates through the bottom side of many of the humidors that are made in China because the bottom is merely a thin piece of wood with a felt covering—and absolutely no moisture barrier coating whatsoever. For these humidors, you may need to increase the quantity of Bóveda packets in order to "catch up" to the rate of moisture loss through the bottom.
