So you got a humidor but now what

Cuban cigars are something that you can store for a while (Up to 15 years) or you can enjoy them at a single sitting. If you buy in large quantities like most cigar buyers, than in order for you to enjoy them for a long time, you must not only get a humidor, but also learn about proper humidor management. You see, although a Cuban cigar can be aged for 15 years (The taste is phenomenal) but if exposed to nature's fury, you might not even be able to smoke it the next day. Proper care can only take place by placing your cigars in a humidor and than taking care of that humidor.

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.

Every once in a while you would have to charge your humidor. In fact, it is what keeps the humidor from not doing its job. You can recharge it by adding a solution every couple of months. However, this is a process in itself, and you should refer to the instructions in your humidor, as they are different for all. Last step is to test everything out because you don't want anything to go wrong. If something does, adjustments are simple and than you should be on your way.

You should love your humidor just as much as your Cuban cigars. The idea is to enjoy every single cigar that you get or store. It is actually exactly like wine, the more you age your cigars, the more amazing they are going to taste. So take of your humidor, take care of your humidor and enjoy fine smokes all the time.
