Why do humidors use Spanish cedar?

Every time a humidor is opened, moisture escapes. Spanish cedar holds more moisture than most woods, making it an excellent choice of material for a humidor that you open frequently. This aids in the rehydrating process, allowing your humidor to recover quicker and maintain a stabile environment.

How do I choose a good humidor?

The rule of thumb is to buy a humidor that’s slightly bigger than what you want to keep on hand. If you think ten cigars is the right number, it might be worth your while to step up to a 25-count humidor – or if 25 cigars seems like your sweet spot, think about a humidor that holds 50.

Can you use a wooden cigar box as a humidor?

No, a cigar box is simply the container that holds your cigars, although some may be well manufactured, they’re usually made of wood or cardboard – they aren’t made well enough to offer any significant amount of humidity control for your cigars.

Do glass humidors work?

The glass can act as a heat conductor and may adversely affect the temperature and humidity in the humidor. If you properly season the humidor, and can maintain a good temperature/RH ratio for keeping your cigars fresh, a glass top humidor should serve you just as well as a solid wood model.
