Top 5 cigar humidors for cigar enthusiasts

Humidores para aficionados

The best choice of our Wacota cigar humidors

Every good cigar enthusiast knows that in order to enjoy these products to the fullest, they must be kept in the correct conditions. The characteristics that make up cigars – especially the aromas and scents that they give off – can be lost if  they are not kept in the ideal conditions. So, how should they be kept at home? There’s no better way to preserve cigars at their highest quality than inside a cigar humidor.

To maintain perfection, cigars must be kept at specific levels of temperature and humidity that our homes just do not usually have. Many factors can contribute to the spoiling of cigars in our homes. The main causes are central heating, which raises the temperature of the home and dries the environment (and therefore the cigars) and air conditioning, which again dries the environment and absorbs moisture from the room.

The ideal way to keep cigars from losing their unique features is to store them at a temperature between 16-18 degrees Celsius. Although, this variable is not as critical as humidity, which should range between 65 and 72 percent.

So, once you have mastered everything related to the elements of cigars and the art of smoking, you have to know how to choose the perfect humidor to keep them in. Something important to consider is that it is best to opt for a humidor with an interior lined with cedar wood. This is one of the best woods to preserve the quality and characteristics of cigars.

Since cigars must be acclimatized to the conditions of the humidor, our best advice is to clearly differentiate between the cigars that have been in the humidor for a long time from those that we just bought, and organize them according to this. Rotation is essential to maintain the properties of cigars.
