Newcomers to the cigar community often find out the hard way that poor humificiation can ruin even the most decadent cigar. Unlike other luxury products like high-end whiskey, for example, cigars must be stored in a specialized container called a humidor. Properly maintained humidors regulate temperature and humidity in a controlled environment, and they allow cigar lovers to safely store their favorite smokes for years (or even decades).

If you smoke cigars, a humidor is a no-brainer. Without a humidor, a cigar can last about 30 days at best, that is, if it’s in a cellophane wrapper. No wrapper? You’re looking at just three days.
In order to last, cigars need to be kept at a certain temperature, humidity, and moisture level. When these factors aren’t kept in check, your smoke will lose freshness and quickly deteriorate in flavor. There are a variety of ways to protect your cigars — from a fancy cabinet humidor to a simple acrylic jar humidor. However, if you’re looking for the best of the best, the electric cigar humidor is the way to go.
