Humidors: Ensuring Perfectly Seasoned Cigars All Year Round
When it comes to preserving valuable items, each requires its own method. Food is kept fresh with refrigeration, leather maintains its luster through conditioning, and ancient Egyptian mummies were preserved with oils and cloths. But what about your exclusive Cuban cigars? They rely on a humidor for preservation.
Beyond a Simple Box
While at first glance a cigar humidor might appear to be just an ordinary wooden box, it’s much more than that. Often crafted from exquisite Spanish cedar, a humidor not only stores cigars but also maintains and ages them. Over time, it can even become a cherished piece of furniture or a family heirloom.
Maintaining the Ideal Humidity
For optimal storage, cigars require a humidity level of 68% to 72% at room temperature, typically between 68 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidors come equipped with a hygrometer to monitor humidity levels, adjusting as needed by adding or removing moisture.
The Importance of Seasoning
Before placing your cigars into a new or unused humidor, it must first be seasoned. This process ensures the humidor achieves a climate similar to the tropical conditions where most cigars are produced. Skipping this step could result in dry cigars, as the wood would absorb their moisture.
How to Season Your Humidor
1. Prepare the Sponge: Soak a new sponge in distilled water?"avoid using soap, scents, or tap water due to mineral content.
2. Wipe the Interior: Carefully wipe down all exposed wood surfaces, including the lid and dividers, using a non-fraying cloth.
3. Place the Sponge: Spray more distilled water onto the sponge and place it inside the humidor on a plastic bag to prevent direct contact with the wood.
4. Prepare the Humidifying Tool: Wipe down the humidifying tool and let it rest on a towel for about 30 minutes.
5. Let It Sit: With the sponge and humidifying tool inside, close the humidor and leave it overnight.
6. Refresh and Repeat: The next day, refresh the humidifying tool and add more distilled water to the sponge if needed.
7. Final Setup: After a second night, remove the plastic bag and sponge, and the humidor will be ready for your cigars.
In a world where cigars are as esteemed as fine jewelry, storing them in a well-prepared humidor ensures your investment remains intact and your cigars stay well-seasoned. South American cigars, akin to the Rolls Royce of tobacco products, deserve nothing less.
