subject: A Humidor Is One Of The Most Important Cigar Accessories You Can Own [print this page] People who smoke cigars know a lot about quality tobacco. When you smoke a cigar, you are not lighting up casually like you would with a cigarette. Cigar smoking is about taking your time and appreciating the flavor of the tobacco that you are smoking. Because most cigar smokers appreciate high quality, many choose to smoke premium cigars. When you buy premium cigars, you are actually buying a handmade product. Cigars are an investment and investments needs to be protected.
In order to treat your cigars well, you will need to find the right cigar accessories. One of the most important accessories that any cigar collector can own is a cigar humidor. A cigar humidor is a case in which a smoker can store his or her cigars safely. You might be wondering why any old case won't do when it comes to storing cigars. When you are storing cigars, you need to make sure that you are keeping them in the right environment so that they do not become ruined.
The reason why you need to control the environment in which you keep your cigars is because they react to the amount of moisture that is in the air around them. If the environment is too moist, the cigar will soak up too much moisture. The opposite is also true. If the environment is too dry, the cigar will dry up. Humidors create an ideal environment by controlling the moisture that the cigars are exposed to. Ideally, 12-14% of a cigar's weight should be moisture.
In order for humidors to keep your cigars exposed to the right amount of moisture, they need to be made in the right way. It is very important that any humidors that you purchase have good strong seals. Without a strong seal, moisture will be able to get in and out of the humidors, rendering them useless. This is no way to treat your premium cigars.
The best place for you to store your cigars is in a humidor. Most humidors are thick wooden cases that come with a very tight seal. They actually work to create an environment that is safe for your cigars. The seal will keep any extra moisture from getting in and also keep moisture from getting out. When you keep your cigars in a humidor, they will last a long time because they will always be exposed to the right environment.
