BuzzArd Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 And if so how do they compare with their Boveda/Xikar competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKostyan Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Now there are many analogues of Boveda. For example such have Fuente. Glossy paper, but it also breathes like a membrane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derboesekoenig Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I don't trust anyone else. Boveda has been around. I know for a fact that they will work no matter what. Not worth it to me to save a couple dollars or whatever it may be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you don’t come from behind to gain market share with an inferior product. Just wondering if anyone has had firsthand experience. I may try a few. If I do I’ll report back here. The “depleted” color change thing I’m not sure about. Also, I know I can “recharge” my own Boveda. Not sure if it’s doable with the Integras.

ender.lmm Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Now there are many analogues of Boveda. For example such have Fuente. Glossy paper, but it also breathes like a membrane.These are made by Boveda. Check the fine printBeing the market leader it is difficult to find a competitor. O would try them to see what happens.

Rupe Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Looking at the FAQ section of Integra website, it appears that the product was originally developed for use with cannabis and is only offered in 55% and 62% RH varieties which is the optimal range for that product. I'm guessing it was later marketed for other products such as cigars as well. It also states that it is arrived at by using a "salt free" combination of plant based glycerin and water to achieve the desired humidity. This is more than likely because Boveda has a patent on using salts to obtain the desired humidity levels. My only concern here is the glycerin and water combination. Isn't that what we used to use in conjunction with green foam in our humidors back in the day? I guess if it is made with purified water and contained in the pack it is going to be OK but it still makes me a little leery. After looking on Amazon and noticing that they are almost exactly the same price (Boveda is actually a little cheaper on the 67 gram packs) I think that I will stay with what I know and has worked for me for the past 5+ years.
