Boveda
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

The kitty litter thing is the crystals type, not regular kitty litter. Don't bother, boveda is the best method.

Seems like Boveda is the new (since I last smoked ) demi-god of humidification. When I left the cigar world it was sponge and poly magic juice. Thanks

ThanksYeah I’ve been through floral foam, sponges, beads, jars, cat litter…you name it. Cat litter does work. Once you’ve got everything you need and set it up. That part can be the hassle. I’ve found that boveda is hassle free and reliable.
If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

Old curmudgeon here, cloth bags of kitty litter in the Iris boxes. Works just fine.

Same here. 12 pounds in a couple of trays.
I think I figured out it would have cost me $800 for the same amount if I used Bovedas.
One other thing I use is a couple 1" x 6" cedar boards to act as humidity storage...No Idea if it works, but it makes me feel better.1 -
I still have kitty litter in a leaky humidor that I have to recharge every week. Have 3 large bovedas in a 55 quart cooler that I might have to recharge once a year.
Edit: with enough room in the cooler to keep the weed happy.A little dirt never hurt1 -

The leaky humidor was a gift from wifey, so I use it to display some dog rockets Frank sent me, if you come by to visit don't take one out of there.

I over did my Boveda's when I got my coolador, but never replaced/recharged one yet.

How many, what size, and how big of an area, appreciate any input.

Often we run single digits on humidity here but 3 of the large boveda keep the 55 quart happy with minimal recharge. Your weather is the biggest variable. I don't even know how you de-charge a boveda as I only add humidity.

A good cigar and the open road solve most problems.

I bought a brick of the cooler sized ones a couple years back and I've only opened a quarter of them. We are also never trying to remove humidity, only add, so I didn't expect them to last nearly as long as they have.

Boveda packs can be recharged by placing them in a sealable bag or airtight container with a small amount of distilled water, allowing them to absorb moisture for 24-48 hours.
However, it's recommended to avoid recharging them for optimal performance, as they may not provide precise humidity control after being rehydrated.
I have not experienced the second paragraph. Recharging works.
