A cigar humidor is a box or any kind of container in which the humidity level is controlled in order to create the ideal environment for storing cigars or tobacco. In this simple guide, we tell you everything you need to know about using a humidor to keep your cigars in prime condition.

What is a cigar humidor?

In order to retain the optimum flavour and strength of your cigars, it’s essential you keep them at a temperature as close as possible to 21°C with near 70% humidity. This is best done using a cigar humidor. 

How does a cigar humidor work?

A cigar humidor is designed to mimic the ambient climate required to keep cigars at their best. Storing your cigars in a humidor will ensure they mature well over time. Much like a fine wine, cigars are at their best when they’ve been given a chance to age, but they have to be stored correctly at the proper temperature and humidity, or else they will rapidly lose their freshness and quality.
