The Integra Boost Travel Cigar Case With Hygrometer Reads Its Own Air
Integra makes this case in two versions, and the difference is a dial. The plain one closes on a latch and leaves you trusting the pack inside. This one adds a hygrometer in the lid and a handle loop on the shell, so the number is there whenever the case is opened. Everything else matches. The rigid blue plastic shell is the same. So is the foam tray grooved for five cigars, and the holder sized for one 8 g Boost pack. The other difference is what ships in the box. A 72% RH pack is included here, where the plain version arrives with the holder empty. That makes this one usable straight away rather than after a second line on the invoice.
Reading the Dial, and What It Can and Cannot Tell You
Open the case and let it sit closed for an hour before reading anything. A hygrometer reports the air it is in, and that air needs time to settle after a lid has been open. Once it reads steady, the number describes the case rather than the cigars. If it sits below the pack setting, the pack is likely spent and gets swapped. If it sits above, something wet went in. What the dial cannot do is tell you a pack is finished before the air has moved. A reading taken straight after closing means very little. Replace the pack, close the case, and read it again the next day. The case itself is not consumed, only the packet is.
Key Features
- Hygrometer In the Lid: The version with a dial, where the plain case leaves you trusting the pack alone.
- Handle Loop On the Shell: A carry point the plain latching case does not have.
- 72% RH Pack Included: Ships ready to close on a stable setpoint rather than with an empty holder.
- Rigid Plastic Shell: Takes the pressure a bag puts on its contents, where a leather sleeve passes it through.
- Foam Tray For Five Cigars: Grooved so the sticks stay apart and do not rub against one another in transit.
- Integrated 8g Pack Holder: Gives the packet a fixed position off the wrappers instead of letting it slide loose.
- Latching Lid: Closes on a small fixed air volume, which is the condition a 2-way pack works best against.
- Takes Any 8g Boost RH: Integra makes the 8 g size at 55%, 62%, 69% and 72%, and all four fit the holder.
- Case Is Not Consumed: Only the packet is replaced, so one case runs for years against a recurring pack cost.

Does a Humidity Pack Come With This Case?
Yes. A 72% RH pack is included. The plain version without a hygrometer ships with the holder empty.
How Is This Different From the Plain Case?
This one adds a hygrometer in the lid, a handle loop and an included pack. The shell, tray and holder are the same.
How Long Should You Wait Before Reading the Dial?
Give it an hour with the lid closed. A hygrometer reads the air it is in, and that air needs time to settle.
What Size Boost Pack Fits the Holder?
The 8 g size. A 4 g packet is too small to seat properly and a 67 g pack will not fit at all.
