Choosing the Perfect Cigar Humidor

Choosing the best cigar humidor to meet your needs is of vital importance. If you're a cigar lover, you're already aware that you'll be storing some of your most prized possession (a.k.a. your cigars) inside it. While you're shopping for a quality humidor, consider storing your cigars in a dry cooler or Tupperware container in the meantime. If you do plan to temporarily store your cigars, you will find it beneficial to purchase a cigar humidor humidifier. However, most of your efforts should be concentrated on finding a high quality humidor to store your cigars.


Before you shop, you should know a few humidor facts. First of all, the cigar humidor does not need to be 100 percent airtight, and they come in a wide variety of styles, shapes, materials, and functions. No matter which kind of humidor you decide to purchase, the best are lined with wood. If you're searching for the highest quality humidor, consider purchasing one that is lined with Spanish cedar. (Another name for Spanish cedar is mahogany.) The reason most humidors are lined with mahogany is because this type of wood responds well to various humidity levels. Aside from that, this type of wood gives off a mild aroma that is both pleasing to the smell and very conducive for aging quality cigars. If it’s your goal to purchase the best possible humidor to store your cigars, be sure to order one that is lined with Spanish cedar, or mahogany.


If you only purchase cigars sporadically, or you only keep a few at a time, purchasing a small cigar box humidor will probably be a good choice for you. If you plan to travel often for business or pleasure, experts recommend that you purchase a travel humidor. Changes in climate during travel can wreak havoc on the flavor and texture of your cigars. For this reason, travel humidors are imperative for those who will be on the road often.


On the other hand, if you're an avid cigar lover or collector and you purchase large quantities of cigars at one time, you may find a cabinet humidor to be useful. Cabinet humidors offer more space and are typically a bit more luxurious than your smaller cigar-box variety. For the very high-end cigar lover, there's always the option of a walk-in humidor. Walk-in humidors can be situated in any room of your home, but typically take up lots of space and are often dedicated a room all their own. This option is usually best for those who plan to maintain a cigar-smoking regimen for life, as well as those who have the funds to invest in such a venture!
