Types of Humidors
Travel Humidor:
There are 2 main kinds of "travel" humidors. First of which is considered a "vest pocket" humidor. Spanish cedar
lines the interior with a leather exterior. This case is perfect for a night on the town but not long term storage. The second
humidor is commonly known as a travel case. This humidor has a hard plastic exterior and foam padded interior. Due to the
fact that this case has a humidifying agent, it is perfect for an extended weekend.
Desk Top Humidor
Ranging from a small 15 count to a much larger 300 count or more, there is a size, shape and color to fit any decor.
Complete with a humidifer and a hydrometer a desk top humidor is a great choice for long term storage.
Humidity Level and Temperature
A constant humidity level is critical to keep your cigars in perfect condition. A realative humidity level in your
humidor should be between 68 - 72%. Keep in mind that humidity levels go hand in hand with the temperture of 68-70 degrees.
Although it sounds like a selling gimic, your humidor should be maintained half full of cigars in order to work properly.
What to look for in a humidor
The inside of your humidor should be lined with unfinished Spanish Cedar. If the humidor has trays or dividers, they
should be removable to accomodate a varity of sizes of cigars. The hinges should be inset so that the lid can close
tightly and evenly with no gaps visible. Some humidors are equipped with a decorative lock. Remember that this lock is more
to keep others out of your prized cigars than provide a seal.
