Tobacco Humidor
Using a Humidor for your Cigars
If you are one of those who has recently joined the cigar revolution may be unsure why you need one of the humidors at all. But although a few cigar lovers might think that keeping their cigars in a plastic bag along with a damp towel is good enough to keep them well, the majority would rather invest in a good humidor.
Cigars normally adapt to their surroundings absorbing scents and dampness from the environment just like a sponge would water. If they are stored in an inappropriate environment the cigars will turn out to be unsuitable for smoking, disappointing the manufacturer as well as the owner. However, if they are stored properly in a suitable environment like a humidor you can be sure that they will age appropriately to be enjoyed by even the most seasoned connoisseur.
For those who might not have heard of a humidor before, it is basically a box or container which maintains constant humidity and will serve as home for your cigars as they age gracefully over up to a period of six or seven years. You can choose from a wooden humidor, a glass top humidor or a humidor cabinet. There are also plenty of other cigar accessories to choose from to compliment your humidor. There are many different types available in the market and you can even shop for them online in a short period of time instead of going to several different stores, hunting for the perfect one. Ordering online, simply choose the humidor you like, place your order and wait for it to be delivered to your door. You can shop at any time of the day or night, and you avoid dealing with irritable salesmen and standing in queues, waiting to be attended to.
All humidors include hygrometers, devices which allow you to monitor the humidity level. This allows the cigar owners to maintain a humidity level of about 65 to75 percent inside the humidor. If the humidity is outside this range, the hygrometer will display it on its scale. It is best to keep your humidor full; the more the empty space the more likely that the humidity will drop. On the other hand, make sure you don’t pack in too many or you’ll end up damaging your precious cigars.
Humidors are normally made from Spanish cedar. Some benefits of Spanish Cedar include its ability to retain more moisture, naturally fending off tobacco beetles capable of destroying an entire cigar collection and as an extra perk the cigars inside the humidor develop a special, alluring aroma.
Before you use a new humidor, you have to prepare it for use. Use a damp cloth to wipe the inside of the humidor. Then place a bowl of water within the humidor and keep it there for about twelve hours with the lid closed, allowing the majority of the water to evaporate. Place a second bowl of water inside the humidor, this time for 24 hours. When the water quantity no longer reduces or your humidor is no longer thirsty, your humidor is ready to be entrusted with storing your cigars.
You will also have to calibrate the hygrometer. Some retailers provide pre-calibrated hygrometers. In other cases you will have to follow the simple steps to make sure the hygrometer is prepared to properly read the humidity level inside the humidor.
Once you've prepared your humidor, you can place your cigars inside. You may wish to use dividers to minimize the mixture of aromas from different types of cigars. Other aficionados appreciate the flavor mixing. In any case you are sure to enjoy your cigars for a longer period of time and at a higher quality once you start using a humidor.

If I put slightly stale cigars into a humidor, will they be any better or less dry?
I was meaning to buy a humidor before going on a month long trip, but forgot and now my cigars are slightly dried out...If I put them in a humidor now, will they get any better/less dry or will it not make a difference? I would assume it would help a little since the humidifiers in humidors put moisture back into the tobacco right?
Please help me on this! I'll make sure I don't make this mistake again!!! thanks!
Yes put them in the humidor right away! Its going to take a while maybe a week or two but you cigars will come back to life just be patient. Next time when you travel think about investing in a travel humidor you can buy them in all sizes and this will protect them in case you forget about them when your traveling the next time. Good Luck.
