I’ll never forget when I bought my first cigars and kept them for a special occasion! A few months later I was handing out the cigars to my friends to celebrate a birthday. We lit the cigars and they caught on fire because they were so dried out. Sadly, they were unsmokeable. From that point on I’ve learned what it meant to store a cigar properly because you never know when life treats you to a cigar worthy moment.

The cigar storage solution is called a Cigar Humidor and they are meant to not only store your stogie but to maintain the proper temperature and humidity levels to preserve quality and longevity of your cigars.

Here’s what you should know when shopping for a cigar humidor-

Capacity

• Depending on your needs you will want to look for a storage solution that will allow enough room to separate cigars with different flavor profiles. Because of this, humidors with multiple compartments or drawers are best suitable if you like to carry a variety of cigar flavors.

Humidity and temperature control

• As a rough guideline, the 70/70 rule can be applied to cigar storage: keep cigars at 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 70% relative humidity. However, storing in the range of 62%-75% humidity is acceptable. Be sure to look for humidors that have a built in hygrometer to easily monitor levels so you can adjust as needed.
