Great Humidors at Every Size: 5 Top Picks from Our Stores

Humidors are a must-have accessory for any serious cigar collector or even casual smoker. They keep your cigars from drying out and keep them in peak condition.

If you let your cigars get too dry, they will smoke hot and fast and lose a lot of their flavor. Worse yet, they might unravel or crack while being cut. When your cigars are too moist, they will produce tongue-burning steam when lit—they may even mold!

A humidor with a hygrometer that measures humidity and a humidifier that keeps the cigar-storing conditions right can make a world of difference in how your cigars smoke and how long they last. Plus, many cigars get better if you age them for months or years in a top-quality humidor.

Types of Humidors

Humidors come in a variety of sizes and styles, and each will be more comfortable for different people. A casual smoker might be content with a humidor that holds 50 cigars whereas a collector might need a humidor that holds 1000 cigars or more—other people will fall somewhere in between.

Plus, your cigars have to stay fresh while you're on the road, not just at home or work. Therefore, travel humidors are a great addition to any collection.

Just because humidors are functional doesn't mean that they have to be dull, either. Manufacturers are starting to move beyond the traditional mahogany-and-glass boardroom look and have some more fun with their humidors.
