So you got a humidor but now what
Trevor Wallace
Cigars are meant to be enjoyed for a long time and at times, we may buy them by in bulk. If this is the case, it is necessary to make sure that we keep them as fresh as possible in order for the enjoyment to be at its maximum. We should be able to enjoy the last cigar out of a box just as much as we enjoy the first. Unfortunately, the elements both inside and outside can play a damaging role on a fine cigar. That is why it is necessary to keep them in it cigar humidor so that they are kept as fresh as the day you first bought them.
Now your humidor is designed to store your cigars at ideal temperature. Make sure that which ever one you get, it does this basic job first. The ideal temperature is between 71 to 74 degrees. This is very close to the humidity levels in the country of Cuba. No wonder they make the best cigars in the world! A humidor's job is to maintain the above temperature and if you take care of that humidor, you can easily have your own stash of well aged Cuban cigars.
After that, make sure that you have separate gauges to make sure your humidor doesn't go off track. Gauges to monitor the temperature and the humidity. The fancier humidors come with this feature and you can even have a 'on the go' remote. So in case the temperature changes, you can fix it immediately even if you are away from your humidor. Once you press the button on this remote, it automatically adjusts the humidity level using the water within the humidor. So you do have various options when it comes to maintaining your Cuban cigars.
Humidor do require charging too, never forget that. This is an essential part on making sure your humidor stays in business. It is fairly easy to charge it as all you have to do is add a solution to it every month or so. This activation phase involves several steps too so make sure you have read the instructions first. Now I like to test things out before I take action, so that should be your next step. Get a cheap cigar from somewhere and see what is going on or you can just do it without one. If anything happens, just make the changes, which are fairly simple in most cases and go from there.
If you want to take care of your Cuban cigars, take care of your humidor. It's all about enjoying the true pleasure that is a Cuban cigar. If you can store them in a humidor and age them, than you are probably going to get a lot more out of it. Just like fine wine, aged Cuban cigars only get better with time.
