You’ve purchased some fine cigars or received them as a gift.
But, there’s one problem.
You still don’t have a humidor!
While you may know a humidor is the best way to keep your cigars fresh, you have no idea what to look for when buying one.
We can help.
Here are some considerations:
Consider price
While they come in many sizes, styles, and price ranges, you don’t have to spend a lot to get a good humidor. Good humidors that control the temperature and humidity can be had for less than $60.
Ask yourself “How many cigars will I need to keep fresh?”
If you are like most cigar smokers, you don’t need a 7-drawer humidor that will hold hundreds of cigars. Rather, something more practical in size. Desk-top size humidors hold around 25 cigars and are perfect for most smokers.
It’s got to be lined with cedar
Cedar lining helps a humidor regulate the humidity and the air flow. Anything else won't maintain as even and optimal a temperature as a cedar humidor.
Season the humidor to create the microclimate
Spend 7 days preparing your humidor by seasoning it before storing the cigars in it. It’s a simple 2-step process:
- Prime the humidifier by soaking the humidity beads or sponge, then placing it in the humidor.
- Place a cup of distilled water in the humidor and blot the walls with a very-slightly damp towel. Close the humidor and allow to set for 7 days. Then, remove the cup of water. Your humidor is ready for the cigars.
