For cigar lovers, whether it's for collection, gifting, or portable use, choosing a high-quality cigar humidor is essential.

What is a cigar humidor?

Basic Structure and Materials of a Cigar Humidor
A cigar humidor primarily consists of four components: an outer shell, an inner lining, a humidity control system, and a sealing strip. Creative Packing's cigar humidors utilize high-quality woods (such as mahogany and walnut) for the outer shell, ensuring durability while maintaining aesthetics.
The inner lining is typically made of moisture-resistant wood, such as Spanish cedar, effectively absorbing moisture, maintaining a constant humidity, and eliminating any odor-causing substances.

Humidity Control System

The humidity control system is the core component of a cigar humidor and is typically equipped with a humidity pack or electronic humidity controller. Creative Packing's humidors offer three humidity control configuration options: humidity pack, electronic humidity controller, and humidity control beads, allowing you to customize your humidor to your needs.

How a Cigar Humidor Works

Cigars require specific temperature and humidity conditions to be maintained. Cigars are ideally stored at a humidity between 65% and 75% and a temperature between 18°C and 21°C.

A humidity control system can maintain humidity within a set range through natural moisture release or electronic control. If humidity is low, the humidity pack releases moisture; if humidity is too high, the system automatically adjusts to maintain a stable level. This way, you don't have to worry about your cigars losing flavor or spoiling due to changes in humidity.
