How to store cigars and keep them fresh

April 19,2019.

You just received a box of cigars. You’ll want to make sure you store them correctly. Keeping your cigars humidified is important, especially if you live in a cold-weather or desert climate where exposure to too much dry air can dry out your cigars in no time. The most common method for keeping your cigars fresh is to store them in a cigar humidor. A cigar humidor requires a small amount of regular maintenance, but it will keep your cigars in ideal shape for an extended period of time.

 

Ideal Conditions for Cigars

Fluctuations in either humidity or temperature can adversely affect your cigars’ ability to burn correctly and taste good. Ideally, 70% humidity and 20℃ are optimal conditions for cigar storage, but a general range between 65-75% humidity and 18-20℃ is considered acceptable.

 

The Role of a cigar humidor

Cigar humidors have a very simple purpose. They maintain stable humidity and temperature levels so your cigars will retain the integrity of taste.

A cigar humidor is essentially a wooden box with a lid or door that seals and locks enough moisture in the interior to keep your cigars humidified. The moisture is traditionally supplied by a humidification unit, or reservoir. Most cigar humidors are made of cedar or they are manufactured with a cedar lining on the inside, as cedar reacts agreeably with moisture and preserves the natural flavor cigars possess. The reservoir needs to be refilled periodically. Distilled water is best as tap water can create an unwanted mold condition. Most cigar humidors are also outfitted with a hygrometer, which measures the humidity level so that you’ll know to add more water when the level drops beyond a certain point (usually into the lower 60% humidity range).


 

A good cigar humidor preserves freshness, extends the longevity of your cigars, and promotes aging. Cigars, in some respects, are like wine. As they age, they get better, and may even peak over time.

 

Plastic cigar bag & Humidification Pouch

The easiest and most basic way to store cigars is in a plastic Ziploc-style bag. When you’re buying a handful of single cigars from a premium cigar shop, they are often placed in a Ziploc sleeve at the time of purchase. While the bag itself will help to preserve the initial freshness of your cigars, at least for the short term, a humidity source is still required if you plan to hang onto your cigars longer than a few days.
