67 grams > For approximately 320 grams of pipe tobacco or 1 to 50 cigars.
A relative humidity level of 84% is considered very high and is used in specific cases:
Cigar rehumidification: If a cigar has been in a very dry environment, an 84% humidity pack can be used temporarily to rehydrate the cigar.
Temporary storage for stabilization: Some cigar collectors use 84% packs to stabilize very dry cigars before returning them to an ideal level (69-72%). This is an intermediate step and never a long-term solution.
In conclusion, 84% relative humidity is suitable only for rehydration or temporary stabilization scenarios. For ideal storage, it’s best to stay within the recommended ranges: 69-72% for cigars and 55-75% for pipe tobacco.
The preservation of products like cigars, pipe tobacco, or aromatic herbs relies on a delicate balance of relative humidity (RH).
