Many of you who have just joined the cigar revolution may wonder if you need to buy a cigar humidor, quietly mumbling to yourself, “I already had to buy a lighter, now this!” While a great deal of persons do believe that keeping cigars in a plastic bag with a damp towel is sufficient sufficient to keep them suitable, nine out of ten cigar lovers likely splurge on the humidor. And, of course, nine out of ten dentists would probably agree. This is because cigars adjust to their surroundings, absorbing their environs like a sponge. If they are kept in an ill-suited environment, they will age to be ill-suited cigars, disappointing both their parents and the person who purchased them. On the flip side, however, is the fact that if cigars are placed in a well-suited environment, they will age to become well-suited for even the most seasoned connoisseur. For those who have yet to buy a humidor for your cigars to call “home,” you might be confused as to what a humidor is and whether or not you must buy one. They may seem confusing, like there are a lot of types and brands, each one begging for a probability to age your cigar. However, they are genuinely beauteous simple; a humidor is what it sounds like: a box or a room that holds uninterrupted humidity. Basically, it’s the cigar’s version of Florida. While a heap of cigar shops have room sized humidors, a walk-in humidity closet where patrons may shop for cigars, when purchasing a humidor for personal use the size doesn’t need to be comparable: you don’t need to turn your spare bedroom into a humidor, replacing your bed set and angering your spouse. A little wooden or glass humidor box will suffice, keeping a few dozen cigars, keeping them at the perfective temperature and helping them to grow old gracefully. Humidors all integrate hygrometers, a device applied to monitor humidity levels. This helps cigar lovers to keep their humidors around the idealisti humidity of 65 to 70 percent. When the humidity in the humidor falls above or beneath this level, the hygrometer will tell you, as if tapping you on the shoulder with it is thermometer. Ideally, it’s best to fill the humidor as much as possible, packing in the cigars to the very top: the more empty space the more likely a drop in humidity. And, more importantly, the more empty space the less cigars in your collection. Humidors are made with wood that is peculiarly good for aging cigars; it’s like wrinkle cream for the tobacco world. Constructed with Spanish-cedar, this wood holds in more moisture, sheds it is magnetic aroma onto the cigars, and repels tobacco beetles, tiny bugs that eat the tobacco, potentially ruining cigar collections and providing an undeserved lavishness to the insect world. Once a humidor is purchased, it must be prepped prior to use, placing your cigars in too soon will result in a waste of time and a waste of tobacco. To prep the humidor, take a damp cloth or towel and remove any dust by wiping down the interior. Next, place a little bowl of water inside the humidor and concede it to stay there for 12 hours with the lid to the humidor closed. After 12 hours, if the majority of the water has evaporated, fill another bowl of water and keep it inside the humidor for 24 hours. It’s when the water quits evaporating that your humidor is ready for use. In a nutshell, when your humidor is no longer thirsty, give it your cigars. Every few days be sure to check your humidor to make sure it’s not in need of a refill. If you live in a in particular hot climate, you may need to check your humidor more frequently, making sure the water hasn’t all evaporated or that your parched dog hasn’t drank from it in an act of thirsty desperation. When filling it, only use distilled water or half distilled water and half Propylene Glycol. Humidors are necessary to a good cigar collection. Not only do they keep cigars fresh and preserved, but they keep them heightened with the essence they are meant to showcase. Having a cigar collection and not a humidor may be equated to owning a classic car, and keeping it outside the garage where any element of weather may attack. Most unfeigned connoisseurs, and novices who hope 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 will only come close to true luxury. Close, but no cigar. |
