now let’s talk about ways to keep cigars fresh after they have been opened out of their boxes. Often they are wrapped in glassine paper, cardboard or wooden boxes. However, once these wrappers have been broken the environment’s equilibrium is lost and so is temperature and humidity control efficiency.
And here is the fact – most people don’t smoke a box of cigars in one sitting. The remaining cigars however need to be kept at a constant temperature and humidity. Also some cigars are so big that one may want to enjoy them bit by bit on several occasions.
So What Is The Best Way To Store Cigars For Later? Know that our main goal is to ensure that these cigars are kept at the optimal temperature and humidity levels to preserve their freshness and rich flavor. Don’t worry, let’s get started now!
1.cigar humidor room
For smokers, a cigar humidor is the best place to keep their goods. This chamber is especially meant for keeping and maturing luxury cigars; its control systems precisely manage temperature and humidity to provide the best conditions for our cigars. Usually keeping temperatures between 68–70°F (around 20–21°C), these temperature control systems also keep humidity between 65–72%. This steady temperature and humidity keeps cigars from molding over too lengthy of storage.
Some opulent cigar humidors even have premium furniture and conveniences that let us savor great cigars in a pleasant environment.
But what really makes cigar humidors popular is the Spanish cedar used in their production. This aromatic wood plays an important role in cigar preservation: you don’t need to do anything
The natural insect-resistant properties of these cedars can resist beetles that bite cigars. Secondly, it can perfectly regulate the humidity of cigars by absorbing and releasing moisture to keep the humidity stable, which is very interesting. Finally, the pleasant aroma of cedar can also help the aging process and enhance the aroma of cigars. Therefore, if you buy high-quality cigars, I recommend that you must use storage products made of cigar wood.
2.electronic cigar humidor
For cigar connoisseurs seeking a smarter, more convenient way to store and age their stogies, electronic cigar humidors are the way of the future. These electronic cigar humidor contain a humidifying tray (for your preferred solution or beads) and an elegant analog hygrometer to monitor ideal humidity levels.
At their core, semiconductor chips and semi-heat temperature controls precisely regulate the internal climate, maintaining stable conditions with super quiet operation under 38dB. The dual-glazed design effectively blocks UV rays, while the thick inner glass retains heat beautifully. It can be stored in a controlled temperature and humidity range of 64-74°F and 55-65% RH.
Compared to regular refrigeration, the thermoelectric cooling technology in electronic humidors evaporates less moisture during cooling, better retaining that all-important humidity. This climate stability not only prevents potentially ruinous mold, but also reduces drying out of the tobacco leaves during aging. This is much more accurate than regular humidors, which is why I highly recommend it.
The interior contains Spanish cedar wood framing and drawers, naturally emitting cedar oils to moisturize the tobacco and fend off insects. And, unlike run-of-the-ordinary humidors, these electronic cigar humidors not only ace the test of keeping and maturing your valuable cigar but they also have an easy-to-use LCD display on the outside to conveniently monitor and change temperature and humidity levels within the humidor. That’s rather awesome! Just a few button clicks will let you exactly adjust the temperature for your stogie collection. For every enthusiast of cigars, there is not more handy than that!
3.wooden cigar box
This next humidor has a very cool history.In days of old, around 1800s in Cuba, brands like H. Upmann were already boxing their stogies in redolent wood from Spain. And why? Well, wooden boxes became mandatory tax-wise for America as early as 1865. Hence these small casings turned into an overnight sensation!
Personally speaking, I find some of the vintage designs of cigar boxes absolutely stunning. The classic flat-topped 13-counters and the cabinet-style ones with sliding lids are among them too.These cigar boxes are made of high-quality Spanish cedar. Its warm red color and softness exude a luxurious atmosphere, making the wooden boxes made of it more luxurious.
Apart from being fashionable they are made for another thing or two also. The flavor of the cigar is gently improved over time by those cedar oils that smell so good!
Moreover, optimum aging conditions can be achieved through increased airflow in cabinet boxes. It won’t be something you can get from an ordinary container! Are you very excited to hear this? But please don’t be in a hurry. Before putting the cigars into the new box, you still need to properly condition the new humidor to achieve the best effect.
On top of everything else, painted or plastic containers are less expensive options though not always popular due to their odor-causing characteristics according to some people’s opinions on them. True vintage feel is brought about by nothing else but a genuine Spanish cedar box!
