This is why every enthusiast of tobacco needs an excellent humidor among their tools. It perfectly locks in the complex flavors of our premium hand-rolled cigars
Do you thus own a cigar humidor? Though personally I really enjoy ceramic cigar jars, you can leave a comment on our blog to share your own cigar humidor.
Next, we will introduce how humidor boxes for cigars work in this blog- how they protects your valuable cigar collection. Particularly for beginners in cigars who are just starting, kindly review our blog today attentively!
What is a humidor box?
What precisely then is a cigar humidor? All said it’s a specialized container meant especially for cigar storage. Still, not any container will suffice; humidors are rather specific. Usually made from unique wood, such as Spanish cedar, its great humidity control qualities are sought. Inside the box is a humidification system—usually either a sponge humidifier or a gel bead humidifier—that continuously and steadily provides the required moisture to the cigars.
Someone might ask, “But why do all this for cigars?” Actually, it is just the special characteristics of cigars. When you make a cigar by hand, there are natural oils in it that need to be kept at certain temperatures and humidity levels so they don’t dry out or become brittle, nor should they get wet enough to start rotting. Cigars may lose some of their oiliness if the environment becomes too arid and that will result in a rough taste; while in an overly humid environment mold can grow which would contaminate the cigar. In contrast, a humidor can maintain the right temperature from 64°F – 72°F (about 18-22 °C) with a relative humidity range between 60% and 70%, making it ideal for cigar storage.
How do cigar humidor box work?
The cedar cannot, however, act independently in this regard. At this point, a humidification module becomes really important. This module exists in several variants housed within the humidor.
Though their forms and sizes vary, these bad lads always aim to pump moisture into the air! One often-used choice is the sponge module. Here we are talking about next-level sponges, bathed in distilled water and ready to gently unleash steamy, cigar-loving humidity. The cedar binds that moisture it pulls from the air into a cool zone for your cigar.
One further sick choice is humidity beads. Made from specifically moisture-loving polymers, these resemble tiny scientific jelly balls. Put some beads in your humidor and let them magic, exactly adjusting the humidity for months without a refill! Simply arrange these beads in your humidor container and let them sit for some time; your cigar will always be fresh.
The technique is the same independent of the kind of humidification module applied. To keep your cigar exactly humidified, moisture is emitted into the air, absorbed by the Spanish cedar, and subsequently gently released back into the humidor’s surroundings.
And get this (pictured below):
hygrometers—a small humidity sensor used in humidors—also Its purpose is to keep the relative humidity exactly where it ought to be monitored. The hygrometer allows you to kick back and savor your stogies knowing the humidity is always in the sweet zone!
