Boveda Inc. is adding a larger wooden desktop humidor to the lineup it introduced last year. The news comes from a company press release, reported by halfwheel on Nov. 13.
The Boveda 100-Count Humidor goes on sale Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2026, for $399, sold directly by Boveda. It joins the Boveda 50-Count Humidor, which the company currently lists at $299 on its official store at BovedaHumidor.com and store.bovedainc.com. As of this writing, that store page still shows only the 50-count model. The 100-count listing is expected to appear when the new humidor goes on sale next week.
A Larger Version of Last Year’s Boveda Humidor
halfwheel describes the 100-count as a supersized version of the Boveda Humidor that arrived last year. That earlier model is now being referred to as the Boveda 50-Count Humidor. Boveda’s own site says the 50-count was named Best Humidor of 2026 at the Cigar Trophy Awards, a consumer-voted honor from Cigar Journal.
The idea behind both boxes is the same. Boveda built a wooden humidor around its two-way humidity packs, rather than asking you to retrofit a traditional box. The 50-count uses one Size 320 pack in a magnetic holder on the lid. The 100-count uses the same approach, with room for two Size 320 packs instead of one. halfwheel says that with those two packs installed, Boveda expects the humidor to keep cigars fresh for at least six months.
Size, Build, and What Is Actually Different
halfwheel, citing Boveda, lists the 100-count at 16.4 inches by 11.1 by 5.4 on the outside and 14.4 inches by 9.3 by 3 on the inside. The company says it weighs 15 pounds empty. For comparison, Boveda’s official 50-count product page lists that smaller humidor at 11.9 inches by 9.7 by 4.9 on the outside, so this is a clearly larger desktop box, not a slight stretch of the same footprint.
The announced design carries over the look of the original. The exterior has a matte Macassar ebony finish, the interior is Spanish cedar, and the hardware is chrome, with a felt bottom to protect a desk or tabletop. A magnetic holder in the lid is built for two 320-gram packs. The box includes two removable Spanish cedar dividers, matching the two-divider layout Boveda lists on its current 50-count page. halfwheel also notes that both humidors are made in China.
What Comes in the Box
Each Boveda 100-Count Humidor is packaged as a complete setup, not just an empty box. According to Boveda Inc. and halfwheel, it includes:
- Four 84% RH Size 60 (60-gram) seasoning packs, for a one-time seasoning
- Two 69% RH Size 320 packs, for ongoing humidity control
- An integrated magnetic Boveda holder in the lid
- Two removable Spanish cedar dividers
- A one-year limited warranty
Boveda’s product materials specify a one-year limited warranty (summarized by halfwheel as a one-year warranty).
The seasoning packs are the familiar 84% packets Boveda already recommends for a new wooden humidor. You season the empty box first, then move to the 69% Size 320 packs for storage. That is the same basic process as the 50-count, just with more packs to match the larger box. The 100-count should not be confused with Boveda’s separate 100-Count Humidor Starter Kit, which is a packet kit for seasoning and maintaining a wood humidor you already own, not this new Boveda-branded box.
“The new humidor sets the standard for effortless cigar preservation, giving growing collections the same reliable protection, with room to age and enjoy more of what they love, and it arrives just in time for the holidays,” said Sean Knutsen, president and CEO of Boveda Inc., in a press release.
Where It Fits in a Collection
A 100-count box is a meaningful step up if a 50-count desktop humidor has started to feel tight, especially as ring gauges get thicker and a “50-count” or “100-count” rating becomes more of a class than a guarantee. Boveda’s own 50-count page already notes that actual capacity depends on the size of the cigars you put inside. The same will almost certainly be true here.
If you are thinking about a larger box, the storage habits matter as much as the hardware. Our complete guide to cigar storage and humidification covers the basics of keeping a wooden humidor steady. With the heat coming on, our winter humidor care guide is a timely companion, and we have also written about how to tell plume from mold if something unexpected shows up on a wrapper.
The 100-count is not a radical redesign. It is the same Boveda system, scaled up: two Size 320 packs instead of one, a larger Spanish cedar interior, and a $399 price that sits $100 above the 50-count. For a collection that has outgrown the original box, that is the practical news. For anyone happy with 50 cigars close at hand, the smaller model remains the one Boveda is selling today.
The Boveda 100-Count Humidor is scheduled to go on sale directly from Boveda on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2026, at $399.
