Many of you who have just joined the cigar revolution may be wondering if you need to buy a cigar humidor, muttering quietly to yourself, "I already had to buy a lighter, now this!" While some people believe that storing cigars in a plastic bag with a damp towel is sufficient to store them adequately, nine out of ten cigar lovers probably spend on a humidor. And, of course, nine out of ten dentists would probably agree.

That's because cigars adapt to their environment; they soak up their surroundings like a sponge. If they are kept in an inappropriate environment, they will age into inappropriate cigars and disappoint both their parents and the person who bought them. On the other hand, cigars kept in a well-suited environment will age into well-suited cigars, even for the most experienced connoisseur.
Those who have not yet purchased a humidor for their cigars may be confused about what a humidor is and whether or not they should purchase one. It may seem confusing, as there are many different types and brands, all begging for your cigar to age in them. A humidor is what it sounds like: a box or room where there is constant humidity. Basically, it's the cigar version of Florida.
While many cigar stores have room-sized humidors, walk-in humidity cabinets where customers can shop for cigars, the size doesn't have to be comparable when buying a humidor for personal use: you don't have to turn your guest room into a humidor, replacing your bed set and upsetting your spouse. A small wooden or glass humidor box is enough to store a few dozen cigars, keep them at the perfect temperature and help them age gracefully.
All humidors include hygrometers, a device that monitors humidity levels. This helps cigar lovers keep their humidor at the ideal humidity level of 65 to 70 percent. If the humidity in the humidor goes above or below this level, the hygrometer will let you know, as if it were tapping you on the shoulder with its thermometer. Ideally, you should fill the humidor as much as possible and pack the cigars all the way to the top: The more empty space, the more likely the humidity will drop. And, more importantly, the more empty space, the fewer cigars in your collection.
Humidors are made from wood that is particularly well-suited for aging cigars; it's like wrinkle cream for the tobacco world. Constructed with Spanish cedar, this wood holds more moisture, releases its magnetic aroma to the cigars, and repels tobacco beetles, tiny bugs that eat the tobacco and potentially ruin cigar collections and provide an undeserved luxury to the insect world.
If you have purchased a humidor, it must be prepared before use. Putting your cigars in too soon is a waste of time and tobacco. To prepare the humidor, take a damp cloth or towel and wipe the interior free of dust. Then place a small bowl of water in the humidor and leave it there for 12 hours with the humidor lid closed. After 12 hours, when most of the water has evaporated, fill another bowl with water and leave it in the humidor for 24 hours. Only when the water stops evaporating is your humidor ready for use. In short, when your humidor is no longer thirsty, give it your cigars.
Check your humidor every few days to make sure it doesn't need refilling. If you live in a particularly hot climate, you may need to check your humidor more frequently to make sure the water hasn't completely evaporated or that your parched dog hasn't drunk from it in an act of thirsty desperation. Use only distilled water or half distilled water and half propylene glycol for filling.
Humidors are essential for a good cigar collection. Not only do they keep the cigars fresh and preserved, but they are also enriched with the essence they are meant to present. Owning a cigar collection and not having a humidor is similar to owning a vintage car that you keep outside the garage, where any element of the weather can attack. Most true connoisseurs and beginners hoping to become connoisseurs advocate the use of a humidor. If you don't use one, your cigars may spoil, or, if they don't, you're only getting close to true luxury. Close, but no cigar.
