Purchasing cigars can be akin to buying quality wine....it can get expensive! Don't short change yourself or your cigars buy storing them in a unacceptable cigar humidor. This article will debate the major parts of a quality cigar humidor. Below is a short list of the more crucial items to think about when picking a cigar humidor :
Seal : the most important aspect of a humidor is its capability to hold humidity. When assessing a cigar humidor, drop the lid from approximately 2-3 inches to see how it closes. If it lands on a cushion of air, the seal is fine. Quality cigar humidors will have hidden quadrant hinges and/or piano hinges, which give the best seal possible.
Exterior Construction : The sidewalls and bottom of the humidor should be at a minimum,' thick. Enormous temperature and humidity fluctuations will devastate your cigars. Check to work out if the outside bottom of the humidor is lined with felt to prevent scratching of the furniture that you place your humidor on.

'You don't want excessively aromatic woods in your humidor as it may convey an undesired flavour to your cigars'. Additionally, Spanish cedar is less vulnerable to warping which is critical when utilized in a high humidity application such as a cigar humidor.
If the interior of your humidor warp, the seal on the humidor will be damaged and your cigars rendered pointless. Having the inside Kiln-Dried gets shot of all of the natural moisture that all woods contain. If the humidor you are looking at has trays, make sure that they're ventilated to reassure the humidity in your humidor can circulate to all cigars in the humidor.
Style : Are you interested in impressing your poker playing mates or will a less fancy cigar humidor do? Matte finish or a multiple layer high gloss finish? One for the golfing bag? There are so many styles to choose from it can be pretty confusing. Just make sure the humidor fits your private style.
Quality : don't let price alone sway your decision as to what is a quality cigar humidor. Look at all the variables debated in steps 1-4 and you could have an easier time finding a quality humidor.
Attempt to avoid mixing mild and powerful cigar in a single humidor...especially if they are without plastic wrappers. They will marry their aromas and you will not have the cigars you thought you had. We always advise multiple cigar humidors if they have premium cigars without plastic wrappers. Many premium cigars, such as La Gloria Cubana Serie line, have no cellophane on their cigars and these should not come in contact with other un-cellophaned cigars in your humidor.
