The Basics of Humidors

A humidor is used to create an ideal temperature and humidity to maintain the quality of cigars, cigarettes and other tobacco products.

  1. Description

    • A humidor is more than a wood box.

      A humidor is a box that provides an ideal climate for tobacco products. A humidor should maintain a temperature between 65-70 degrees Fahrenheit. The relative humidity should register between 65 percent and 75 percent.

    Instruments

    • Humidors are used to keep cigars fresh.

      Hygrometers measure the relative humidity of air and are a necessary component for humidors. They come in standard or digital versions.

    Considerations

    • The wood needs to absorb and release moisture.

      When looking for a wooden humidor, consider porous wood that absorbs and releases moisture. Spanish cedar or Honduran mahogany are commonly used in humidors.
