How to choose Humidor!?

Have you read my last post?

If not yet, please read my previous post, first.

I have introduced how to choose your first humidor from my last post.

2) Material











Acrylic humidor is to store cigars for short-time storage.



The problem of an acrylic humidor is that it can not completely seal and it also can cause optical deterirotion soon.

For the same reason(optical deterirotion), I also do not recommend glass top humidor as your first humidor.


Basically, the leaves of cigars are delicate so if you do not store your cigars properly, they would get bad easily.

If you want to buy a proper humidor, I can recommend that you should choose a humidor with a cap and the inside of the box is made of Cedro(spanish wood) .
the cap is Heavier, it is better in sealing.



If you get less than 1 box at your every purchase, a humidor for 30-50 sticks should be best.


I have got two types of humidors: small sized and large sized humidors. I use them in different occasion, purpose and reason.

Obviously, the large-size humidor is for vintage cigars and they have been sleeping in the humidor for years. So those cigars got special!

I will continue the topic tomorrow.
