Cigars dry out

The most common problem: the cigar becomes too dry.

Consequences:

-> it burns too quickly

-> it tastes spicier and loses aroma

-> the cover sheet can tear

-> the train becomes uneven

A dried-out cigar is often beyond saving without losing its flavor.

Aroma and ripeness are lost

Cigars are like a fine piece of craftsmanship: they thrive on aroma, balance, and development.

Without stable conditions, the following happens:

-> essential oils evaporate

-> Tobacco loses depth

-> Taste becomes flat or "scratchy"

In short: you're no longer smoking the cigar you actually bought.

Stored in too humid conditions = risk of mold.

Many people think: "Better a little moist, then it won't dry out."
But too much moisture is just as dangerous.

Excessive humidity can lead to:

-> poorer combustion

-> "dull" or musty taste

-> Mold growth (worst case)

Therefore, a humidor is not just "humidification" – but controlled storage .

What is the perfect humidity level in a humidor?

As a general guideline, most cigar lovers consider the following:

✅ 65% to 72% relative humidity
✅ approx. 18–21°C temperature

Many experienced aficionados actually prefer the 65–69% range because:

-> the combustion is more stable

-> the cigar smokes "cleaner"

->less risk of mold growth

Important: There is no "one perfect number", but stability is crucial.

Why a high-quality humidor makes the difference

A humidor is not simply a box. A good humidor fulfills several functions at once:

✅ Protects against dry indoor air (especially in winter)
✅ Stabilizes storage over weeks and months
✅ Keeps the aroma constant
✅ enables maturation and long-term storage
✅ ensures order and presentation

And quite honestly: cigars are a pleasure – and pleasure should also look good.

Not all humidors are created equal: What really matters

If you're looking for a humidor (or want to upgrade your existing one), pay attention to:

Dense processing

If the humidor doesn't close properly, nothing else matters.

Suitable interior furnishings (e.g. cedar wood or okoumé)

Cedar wood is popular because it:

-> Humidity well regulated

-> can deter pests

-> pleasantly enhances the fragrance

Space & Structure

Many standard humidors quickly become too small.
If you store multiple formats or want to collect cigars, a spacious humidor is worthwhile.

Why an airplane trolley humidor makes a real statement

A classic table humidor is practical – but an airplane trolley humidor is something else entirely:

-> Unique character instead of mass-produced goods

-> Genuine aviation design with history

-> more storage space and better organization

-> looks like a high-quality interior object

Especially in a lounge, office or cigar corner, such a piece is not just storage – but part of the ritual .

Conclusion: A humidor is not a luxury – but a necessity for true cigar enjoyment moments.

If you love your cigars, a humidor is not optional.
It is the foundation for ensuring that aroma, structure and quality remain as they should be.

Because in the end, that's exactly what it's about:
Don't just own cigars – enjoy them as they were intended.
