This winter, I am keeping a 5ct travel humi in my car with some short winter smokes. I am looking to buy some of the SMALL 65% Boveda packets.

The one that is at this link is the large packet, and I think it would be too large for a 5ct humi: http://www.bonitasmokeshop.com/boveda_humidipaks_humidity_packs.htm

Does anyone know who stocks the smaller "square" packets?

I think they only make one size -- different RH's but one size: http://www.bovedapacks.com/catalog.aspx?catid=1

The only small packets that they make are the hygrometer calibration packets.

Hmmm... the ones in the photos look rectangular. I know that when I purchase cigars from certain vendors, they are smaller and are square in shape.

Don't think they come in 65%. Try cupojoes- that's where I buy mine.

Yeah, I was looking for the 65% ones, but it looks like they might not make them. Oh well, I guess I will have to get 69%

Any thoughts on getting a Heartfelt Humidity Sheet (http://heartfeltindustries.com/products.asp?cat=65%25+Humidity+Sheets)and cutting it to size?

Thanks. I am going to order them from Cigar Solutions. They have cheaper shipping than cupojoes.

I thought about that, but I want to keep the foam padding on the top and bottom to protect the cigars.

Don't know how good it would work, but you could put the humidity sheet under the foam.

Thanks buddy! I'll swing by sometime this weekend :noon

Hmmm... good idea. I am going to have to look at that in the future. I might e-mail Dave at Heartfelt and see what he thinks.

I can also grab a 1/2 OZ HCM bag for you on the gb and those work really nice as well... just LMK.

Thanks, but I'm ok with the packets. I have a small heartfelt tube, but I don't want to occupy a slot in the traveldor. Flat is better :tu

Take a look at these... they may be smaller than the boveda packets....

Those look kind of thick. The Boveda is pretty close to paper thin.

I got a few packets a while ago from Amazon, they had the cheapest price by far online, and free shipping.

Yeah, it's amazing what all Amazon sells for a really good price!
