Su Luca MAX is a cabinet-scale humidor that seasons with Klaro Solución humidor. It ships with two bottles — a regular blend and a Winter + Dry Climate blend — so you can dial in the right humidity for your season and climate. Give it a little time to char
Important Notes
- Keep your Luca MAX as close to 70°F as possible. Lower temperatures slow the solution's evaporation; higher temperatures dry the humidor out quickly.
- Never place the humidor in direct sunlight — it rapidly lowers humidity.
- Keep it on a level surface and avoid sudden movements — tilting or jostling a solution humidor can cause it to spill.
- Winter months and dry climates need a little more diligence. Adding distilled water alongside the solution — or switching to the Winter + Dry Climate blend — boosts humidity faster than the regular solution alone.
- We don't recommend Boveda packs. We've tested them extensively in our solution humidors with poor results — Klaro Humidor Solution is what keeps the Luca MAX stable.
A Note on Your Two Solution Bottles
Your Luca MAX includes two bottles of Humidor Solution. The regular blend is ideal for summer and transitional months; the Winter + Dry Climate blend is better for cold winter months and dry climates. If the regular solution isn't holding your humidity high enough, switch to the Winter + Dry Climate blend to boost it. Depending on your season and where you live, you may end up using only one of the two.
Seasoning Your Luca MAX
- Open the cabinet and remove the Bandeja hidráulica (lift off its lid if one is fitted).
- Tear open the included Solución de gel packet and evenly distribute the gel crystals across the sections of the Hydro Tray.
- Slowly pour Klaro Solución humidor over the crystals until they're fully saturated — while seasoning, use the Winter + Dry Climate blend for an extra boost. Allow 6–12 hours for the gel to fully absorb the solution. Out of gel or solution? The Afiliación a Klaro ships a year's supply of Humidor Solution, Winter Solution, and Gel Solution — plus a fresh hygrometer battery.
- Set the charged Hydro Tray back in the cabinet, keeping it level, and close the doors.
- Let the cabinet rest until the reading holds above 68% for 1–3 consecutive days. Depending on your climate, this can take up to two weeks. Slow to climb? Lightly dampen a paper towel with solution and gently wipe the inside cedar lining to boost humidity.
- Check your humidity and fine-tune:
- 70–75% — you're set; no more solution needed.
- 65–69% — add a little more Winter + Dry Climate Solution to the tray.
- Por encima de 75% — leave the tray lid off (or pull the tray) for 24–48 hours, then re-check.
- Once it holds in the 67–75% range, load your cigars. With cigars stored inside, the optimal range is 65–72%.
After seasoning, rotate your cigars biweekly and refill the Hydro Tray periodically. In the driest months, switch to the Winter + Dry Climate blend.
Calibration
Your Luca MAX ships pre-calibrated from the factory, so in almost every case you'll never need to touch this. Do not recalibrate unless you're certain it's needed.
Before you recalibrate: only do this once you've confirmed — with a separate or third-party hygrometer — that the 70%. Recalibrating at the wrong moment sets a false baseline you'll have to undo later.
If you do need to recalibrate:
- Let the humidor stabilize and confirm it's truly reading 70% on a trusted reference hygrometer.
- Press and hold the touch-sensitive area on the front fabric for about 5 seconds.
- The on-unit reading will snap to 70%, setting your new calibration baseline.

Getting the Most From Your Luca MAX With the Klaro App
Your Luca MAX comes with the Klaro app built in, and it ships with a bridge — so you can check on your humidor's humidity and temperature from anywhere, anytime, right from your phone.
- Monitor from anywhere. The included bridge keeps your Luca MAX connected, so live humidity and temperature are always a glance away — even when you're away from home.
- Keep a journal. Log your collection and track conditions over time with the newly updated in-app Journal.
- Control your lighting. Adjust the LED lighting from your phone with far more freedom than the on-board button.
Using Your On-Board LED Button
Prefer to set your lighting right on the unit? The on-board button handles it — no phone needed.
- Brightness & off: a quick press steps through the brightness levels and then turns the light off.
- Change the color: press and hold for about 3 seconds — the light flashes three times, then begins cycling through the colors. When it lands on a color you like, take your finger off; the light blinks three times to confirm your selection.
How the Proximity Sensor Works
Out of the box, your Luca MAX uses motion sensing to trhigrómetro digital — they wake as you approach and fade out after a stretch with no motion, so the unit sits dark and discreet at rest.
You can set the LEDs to stay always on o always off if you prefer. The front hygrometer stays motion-triggered — that behavior is fixed: it lights up when it senses you and fades again once the room is still.
Questions & Answers
How do I charge the Hydro Tray?
Distribute the gel crystals across the Hydro Tray, then saturate them with Humidor Solution — use the Winter + Dry Climate blend while seasoning for an extra boost. Give the gel 6–12 hours to fully absorb. In dry or winter climates, top up with more Winter + Dry Climate Solution to hold your range.
What humidity should I keep my Luca MAX at?
Aim to store cigars in the 65–72% range. Wait until the reading holds steady in that range before adding cigars.
Can I track humidity and temperature from the Klaro app?
Yes. The Luca MAX includes the Klaro app and ships with a bridge, so you can monitor live humidity and temperature from anywhere, document your collection in the Journal, and control the LED lighting — all from your phone.
What can the Klaro app do with the LED lights that the button can't?
Quite a bit. In the app you can finely tune the exact color instead of stepping through the button's fixed sequence, unlock two additional animations, and — coming soon — schedule your lights to turn on and off automatically.
Do I need to calibrate it?
No — it's calibrated at the factory. Only recalibrate if you've verified with a separate hygrometer that the box is genuinely at 70%. To do it, press and hold the touch-sensitive area on the front fabric for about 5 seconds and the reading snaps to 70%.
How do I keep humidity up in winter?
Switch to the Winter + Dry Climate solution, add a little distilled water if needed, keep the cabinet near 70°F, and keep it away from heat vents, exterior walls, and direct sunlight.
