A cigar humidor creates the conditions needed to protect cigars from drying out and store them over longer periods. Our range extends from affordable desktop humidors for a small selection and robust travel humidors to spacious humidor cabinets. We also offer elaborately crafted luxury humidors, models from well-known cigar brands, and selected special Cuban humidors. Price is therefore not the only deciding factor; what matters most is how many cigars you want to store and which humidification system best suits your needs.
Buying a Humidor: Size and Intended Use Matter
Before buying, it is worth taking a look at your own cigar collection. For a few cigars that you smoke regularly, a compact desktop humidor is usually sufficient. If you want to store entire boxes, different formats, or a growing collection, you should allow for a little more space. The stated capacities are intended as a guide: Thick Robustos or Gordos require more room than the same number of slender Coronas. Trays, dividers, and humidifiers also take up some of the interior space.
Affordable Humidors and Exclusive Premium Models
For those just getting started, the Classic cigar humidors offer numerous sizes and designs at comparatively affordable prices. The broad mid-range includes Adorini, with desktop humidors, larger models, and humidor cabinets. At the other end of the range are the elaborately crafted humidors from Elie Bleu. In addition to functionality, materials, lacquer finishes, and craftsmanship play a correspondingly important role here.
Desktop Humidors, Travel Humidors and Humidor Cabinets
The classic desktop humidor is ideal for storing cigars at home and is available in many sizes, types of wood, and finishes. Travel humidors protect a smaller selection while you are on the go; particularly robust models are made from plastic or acrylic and are compact enough for easy transport.
For extensive collections, we offer humidor cabinets and display cabinets with trays, drawers, or glass doors. With these larger models, electronic humidification with air circulation makes it easier to regulate the interior climate evenly.
Special Cuban Humidors With and Without Cigars
A special category consists of humidors from Cuban brands such as Cohiba, Montecristo, or Habanos. It is important to distinguish between empty branded humidors and limited-edition special Cuban humidors with cigars. The latter are often released for anniversaries or as numbered special editions and contain a specified number of the respective cigar. Whether a humidor is supplied with or without cigars is therefore always stated in the relevant product description.
Cedar Wood, Hygrometers and Humidification Systems
With a wooden humidor, it is worth taking a closer look at the workmanship. The lid should close properly, and the hinges and fittings should be sturdy. The interior is often lined with Spanish cedar or a corresponding veneer. Trays and dividers help keep different formats neatly organized.
A reliable hygrometer indicates the relative humidity; depending on the model, this can be regulated using acrylic polymer humidifiers, Boveda Packs, traditional sponge systems, or electronic humidifiers. Sponge humidifiers work well in principle but require more regular monitoring than self-regulating or electronic systems.
The Right Humidity Level in a Humidor
At room temperature, around 69 to 72 percent relative humidity is generally considered a standard guideline. For slightly drier storage or longer aging periods, levels between 65 and 69 percent are also frequently chosen. More important than any single percentage is maintaining a climate that is as stable as possible: Cigars that are too dry become brittle and burn faster, while persistently excessive humidity can impair the burn and encourage mold growth. You can find further information on adjustment and monitoring in our guide to the right humidor humidity level.
