How do you determine which humidor is right for you?

1) The cigar capacity you need depends on your consumption, how often you want to refill and whether you want to age your cigars. The Cigar Humidor Calculator tells you exactly how many cigars you can fit inside.

2) Hygrometer: Many hygrometers use a metal spring mechanism. However, hygrometers that use a hair mechanism are more accurate and can be found in the best humidors. Generally, a hygrometer and humidifier are included with humidors.

3) Humidifier: Humidifiers should be the right size for humidors. Acrylic polymers can hold much more water than traditional sponge-based moisturizers. Microprocessor controlled electric humidifiers are undoubtedly the best choice.

4) Humidor case: The best humidors isolate the internal moisture, which means they will work better and longer. The inside should be covered with a highly absorbent wood, ideally Spanish cedar.
A quality humidor will last a lifetime. It’s a sensible investment to take care of your precious cigars.
