Today, I share the results of my 3-month experiment with both Boveda and Integra Boost Humidity Control Packs. Thanks for watching Comedy - Cigars - Music! Watch, Enjoy, and Subscribe!
Your blinding us with Science!!!! I have always used Boveda, just always felt it was more consistent...glad to see you back with a video...miss ya bro 👊✌💨
Interesting. I wonder what temperature they tune their packs. In theory at a lower temp you would’ve had higher humidity %. I think you said 68f... so they are likely tuned for ...65 66... I couldn’t find anything on the boveda site stating that. I’ve done a ton of research on smoking humidity and been down this road in a different way. Really interesting man. Enjoyed it.
I've always used Boveda. I have 1x 300g packs in each my systema tupperdors which are holding about 75 cigars each and they are still going good 1 year on.
Your two days late on this review, bought some integra boost to replace boveda 😭 The reason for switching is that they say boveda gives cannabis a bad flavor compared to boveda . Maybe you can try that experiment with cigars.
Precise humidity control creates a monolayer of moisture around cannabis trichomes. This protects your terpenes from evaporation BUT less evaporation means less 'nose hit' in the air. You'll notice the smell return shortly after grinding your cannabis and the flavor should be unaffected. However, smell and flavor are closely tied together, so I could see why someone may think that. I'd encourage you to do your own tests. Let the Boveda cannabis sit for minute after grinding and you'll get the full smell, flavor and a more consistant experience! (Because more terps will be on the plant, not in the air.)
If any of my former science teachers heard I made this video, I’m sure their response would be, “Really? Phil did an experiment? Surprised he can even spell.”
So you took dry sticks, hydrated them with boost and got some water content out of it and into those cigars, and then used Boded to top it off? You have two different starting points. Not scientific.
@@ComedyCigarsMusic the cigars themself should work as humectants. If they had proper moisture content at the beginning, they would have stabilized RH on their own without a pack at least for some time. So they were likely somewhat on the dry side. Then treated with packs one after the other rather than side by side simultaneously. Did they smell any different before, during or after?

I agree with you - Boost falls short and Boveda always seems to be consistent.
👊🏽

😂
They’ve been solid for me as well. Just needed a break. Getting back into it but a bit less. Working on another project as well now.
@@ComedyCigarsMusic I enjoy your written reviews and the podcast with Kapowitz...you crush everything you do my friend...
Thanks, Daniel. You might dig my new channel too. Something completely different from the other things I’m doing.
@@ComedyCigarsMusic ill support anything your doing 👊👍
👊🏽
Thanks for the experiment man, I agree with you that the xtra few $$ is well worth keeping that RH dialed in. 🥃 Cheers
My pleasure, bud. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks! That’s a good question. I might try some further testing down the road, as I’m kind of curious myself. Glad you enjoyed it.
I've always used Boveda. I have 1x 300g packs in each my systema tupperdors which are holding about 75 cigars each and they are still going good 1 year on.
I meant to add they are 65% and hold around 68 to 70% RH consistently
Excellent.

Sorry, bud.😆
I haven’t noticed a bad flavor with my cigars with either one in my experience.

Who's "they"? It's just water vapor for both products I don't see how that's possible.
Anthony Brask It’s been mostly from cannabis reviewers who say boveda imparts a bad smell compared to Integra boost.
Watch out for that word Science😉
Nice real life review!
If any of my former science teachers heard I made this video, I’m sure their response would be, “Really? Phil did an experiment? Surprised he can even spell.”
@@ComedyCigarsMusic I don't trust anyone who can spell, 😂🤣😂
😆
Man, you had a YT break that was as long as my vacation 😂 Good to have you back 👍🏻
Thanks, bud!😂🤣
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
I bought 5 packs of integra boost. No bueno. They didn’t work well at all compared to boveda. 😠
I’ve stuck with Boveda. No complaints.

Not dry sticks. Not a scientist.

I didn’t smell the cigars, which would probably be more of a subjective analysis.
PERO EN CALIDAD VS PRECIO CUAL GANA? EN LATINOAMERICA ES MAS BARATO INTEGRA BOST
Okay.
Boveda
Brother, you screwed your experiment. You had the 60% Boveda's Leeching Humidity from the 72% packs. They have to be the same man.
They were the same.
Idk but i feel like boveda is taking terpenes away and gives a hay smell :/
That is an awful shirt.
Thanks for watching.
