The Integra Boost 110mm Stick 69% Runs Down the Side of a Tube
Placement is most of the argument for a stick in the first place. In a tube there is one usable space, and it is the narrow gap along the wall. A flat packet cannot use that gap without folding. The stick can, which is why 110 mm of it goes in where a sachet would not. It does not need to touch the contents, because vapor moves through the air in the tube rather than by contact. That matters against a cigar wrapper, which marks easily and permanently. 69% RH is the lower of the two cigar tiers Integra publishes, and it works in both directions.
How Long a Loose Stick Lasts Once the Case Is Open
The clock starts at the case, not at the stick. There is no individual overwrap in this configuration, so every stick in the case begins working when the double overwrap comes off. In use one runs two to four months, depending on how often the tube is opened. There is no indicator card either, so nothing tells you when a stick is finished. Replacement gets scheduled instead of read off a dot. That is workable on a packaging line and awkward almost anywhere else. A spent stick is replaced rather than recharged, because the blend that sets the humidity does not come back once it is gone. On a line that is a scheduled swap like any other.
Key Features
- Runs Along the Tube Wall: Uses the one gap a tube has, where a flat packet would have to fold.
- Works Without Contact: Vapor moves through the air, so nothing rests against a cigar wrapper.
- 69% RH Cigar Tier: Published for cigars and humidors; the drier of the two cigar settings.
- Longer 110mm Body: For a taller tube, where the 80 mm leaves more of the wall uncovered.
- Two-Way Control: A tube that dried on a shelf gets moisture back rather than only losing more.
- Salt-Free Plant-Based Fill: Glycerin and water, so nothing crystallizes onto a wrapper.
- 1,200 Sticks Per Master Case: A line quantity, double overwrapped as one case rather than wrapped singly.
- No Overwrap and No Cards: The whole case starts together, and replacement runs on a calendar.
- Shorter Stick Also Stocked: The 80 mm body ships 1,500 to a case and suits a shorter tube.

Does the Stick Have to Touch the Contents?
No. Vapor moves through the air inside the container, so the stick can sit along the wall.
Is 69% Right for Storing Flower?
No. Integra directs cured flower to 55% or 62% RH. 69% is published for cigars and humidors.
How Long Does One Stick Last?
Two to four months in use. With no indicator card in this configuration, replacement is scheduled rather than read.
Why Pick the 110mm Over the 80mm?
Tube height. The longer body covers more of a tall tube; the shorter one suits a smaller container.
