Seems like your choice to smoke cigars has given you brought you more decisions to make not only which kind of cigar to smoke but also which humidor to buy, and what you will need it for. The humidor you choose should be capable of storing your cigars properly for several years as a really good cigar can take that long to mature and be ready to smoke.

The first step in choosing a cigar humidor is to decide where you are planning to keep it, is it for home or do you plan on taking it into the office? Each of these applications may require a different size and style of humidor. How many cigars do you plan to keep in your humidor at any one time, if you are planning to take some of your favourite cigars on a trip with you then you will need a smaller one that only holds a few at a time. On the other hand if the one you plan on keeping the bulk of your collection in at home you can find some that can hold more than 100 cigars.

Humidors for Home ot Office

Where in your home or office you plan to keep your humidor has a lot to do with the size and style you choose. If you are going to keep it on your desk then you might want to choose one that holds 100 or less cigars and matches the overall décor. On the other hand you can buy a cabinet style humidor that can hold more than 100. You can buy cabinet humidors that are plain and simple that are meant to be kept in a closet out of sight or you can find some that are exquisitely designed and look great sitting on a shelf or table for all to see.

Now that you know what size cigar humidor you want, the next thing to consider is the type of materials your cigar humidors should be made from. All good humidors are made from wood; the best ones are made of wood that has been dried to a moisture content of no more than 6%. The outer case should be made of solid wood, it should never be made from any type of plywood as these cannot be sealed well enough to keep the moisture levels correct.

The lining of a good cigar humidor should be made from one of two woods either Honduran mahogany or Spanish cedar. Spanish cedar bears only a vague resemblance to the cedar that is used to line your closets but has nowhere near as strong a smell. It would be a disgrace to keep your best Cuban cigars, produced on an island off the coast of Florida, in a humidor and have them taste and smell like a cedar closet.

Large Cigar Humidor are Better

Your cigar humidor should be large enough to store all of your cigars loosely allowing the air to circulate around them freely, if you have more than one variety of cigars it should also have dividers to keep them separated so that their flavors do not bleed into each other. To keep your cigars at their best your humidor should have come with a hygrometer. A cigar humidor will maintain your cigars at the optimum humidity level and will have some form of device to keep it there.

Your cigar humidor may have a tube that can be kept filled with distilled water or a special humidification fluid, others have a box that holds special crystals to help you maintain your humidor at humidity levels between 70 and 72%. A good humidor is the only way to keep your cigars fresh and ready to smoke, but they do not have to cost a fortune, you can find an excellent variety of humidors if you don’t mind spending a little time looking around. With the money you save on a decent humidor you can afford to buy more of your favourite cigars and enjoy them.
