The Best Top 10 Humidors For Your Cigars: AKA Cigar Humidors

Cigar Humidors.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to be a cigar humidors expert to find a good quality cigar humidor that fits your budget these days.  But before you go out and buy one or two cigar humidors, try and get a good idea in your mind of what you would like to have in your cigar humidor.

As you know or may not know, cigars consume oxygen and emit gases into the air.  It is therefore extremely important that cigar humidors are regularly aerated in order to provide the cigars inside with fresh air.  Cigar humidors should close really tightly so that a constant level of internal humidity can be secured and more importantly maintained.

Humidity

The ideal humidity you should aim for in your cigar humidor is around 69 – 71% of the outside relative humidity.  Although the humidity can go higher or lower depending on the your preferences but take my advice, the cigar humidors humidity should never go higher than 75% due to the possibility of the hatching of tobacco beetles.  

Another tip is to keep your cigar humidor with a well stocked compliment of your favourite cigars.  The reason being is that the more empty space there is in the humidor, the more readily the humidity level of the cigar humidor box will drop.

All cigar humidors contain a humidifying system which keeps the air moist, which in turn keeps your prize cigars moist too.

Most humidifying elements are sponge like, passively releasing stored humidity through diffusion and evaporation.  Electronic humidifiers are also available these days, relying on electronics to measure and regulate the relative humidity.

To discourage the eggs of the tobacco beetle from hatching, the cigar humidors temperature should be kept below 25°C/75°F, as well as below 75% relative humidity.
