Integra Boost 67g 84% Mactex Packs Are Not a Storage Setting
The most common mistake with this pack is putting it where flower lives. At 84% RH it holds the wettest setting Integra makes, more than twenty points above the 62% most cured material ships at. Anything held there for long gets damp rather than fresh. What the tier is actually for is seasoning, bringing a new or long-dry humidor up before cigars go in. Cedar takes weeks to come to equilibrium, and a 62% pack will not push it there. One 67 g pouch covers up to 1 lb of contents, or a shelf of a cabinet during seasoning. It works in both directions like every Boost pack, so it will not overshoot past its own number.
Where the 96 Count Case Stops Being Useful
Seasoning is a short job, which makes a 96 pack case a curious thing to own. Most humidors get seasoned once and then sit at 69% or 72% for years. A lounge with a walk-in and several cabinets can justify the depth. A single owner cannot, and smaller counts exist for exactly that reason. The other boundary is the material itself. Integra applies the Mactex name to its 84% and 75% packs and to none of the others, and publishes nothing about what it denotes. Do not read it as a performance claim compared with the plain kraft pouches. And do not read salt into it either, because the fill is the same salt-free plant-based glycerin and water used across the range.

What Is 84% RH Actually For?
Seasoning a new or long-dry humidor. It brings cedar up to working moisture before cigars go in.
Is 84% Safe for Storing Flower?
No. Integra directs cured flower to 55% or 62% RH. Material held at 84% reads damp.
Does the Pack Contain Salt?
No. The fill is plant-based glycerin and water, 100% salt-free, the same as the rest of the Boost range.
What Does Mactex Mean?
It appears on Integra's 84% and 75% packs and on no other tier. Integra does not publish what the designation denotes.
