Is Storing Cigars Properly Really a Necessity?

You bet it is!

When storing cigars, you need to provide an environment which mimics the one in which they were made. And guess what.... it's not the North Pole!

Think tropical.

70% humidity and 70 degrees is the generally accepted rule of thumb. This doesn't have to be exact, so check our cigar humidor maintenance page in our cigar humidor section for variances which are acceptable.

Most every cigar aficionado or future one will eventually finds themselves needing a cigar humidor.

You may start off planning only to buy the cigar or cigars you're going to smoke within the next day or so, but you'll most likely begin storing cigars you have either gotten a good deal on, are in short supply, or just want to keep some extra on hand for guests or that after dinner smoke.

Do not try to save money by not practicing good cigar storage. If you leave your stogies to fend for themselves, they will either become a tasty treat for the tobacco beetle or dry out faster than your skin in the Nevada desert!

In other words, you'll end up losing a lot more money than you would've spent on a cigar humidor if you don't have proper cigar storage.

If you're trying to save some money, you may want to consider looking for a cigar humidor gift set. Many times these offers come with free or discounted cigars. Just make sure they're not jacking up the price of the humidor to help offset the cost of the cigars.

Remember, a deal isn't a deal if you don't get what you want and need, so don't rush into buying a humidor based on price or free cigars alone. This cigar humidor should last you for many years to come.

Make sure you know what you want before shopping for your cigar humidor. If you don't....

You're money very well could go up in smoke.

For a good smoke, storing cigars properly is a necessity!
