Frequently Asked Humidor Cigar Questions

What is the best humidor for a beginner?

The best humidor for a beginner can hold around 50 to 100 cigars. Buy bigger than you think you need: collections grow quickly, and a part-full humidor holds humidity better than a cramped one. A glass-top model like the cherry hi-gloss 75 cigar humidor lets you see what you have without opening the lid. Remember to season your humidor before you put cigars in.

How long will cigars last in a humidor?

Cigars will last indefinitely in a humidor as long as the humidity stays right. Cigars are not perishable, so kept at around 65 to 70% relative humidity, they will hold for years. In fact, many blends improve with age as the tobaccos marry together. The main risks are letting a humidor dry out or overshooting on humidity, which is why a reliable hygrometer is worth having.

What is included in a humidor?

Humidors have a hygrometer to read the humidity and a humidification device to hold it- either a Boveda pack or a refillable crystal humidifier. Beyond that, Spanish cedar trays or dividers help you separate blends and stop stronger cigars from flavouring milder ones. Many people keep a cutter there too.
