Humidors have long been a tool that the cigar conessouier not only uses to store cigars but is a proud display piece for his/her collection.  The modern day humidor comes in all shapes and sizes.  Some are made from spanish cedar others are plastic.  These humidors can hold anywhere from 5 up to 3000 cigars.  So with so many different kinds, shapes, and sizes how do you know what to look for when trying to find your next show piece?

The first thing you need to look for is making sure the humidor has a good seal.  It can be the most beautiful thing in the world but if it doesn’t shut right and keep a tight seal it’s worthless.

Second you need to determine how many cigars you are going to store.  Or how many you may need to store in the future.  This is very important espcially if you join cigar forums where BOTL’s(Brothers of the Leaf) are very generous and bombings(random cigar packages sent out) go flying through the mail.  Not to mention going to the devil site(a cigar auction site - www.cigarbid.com).

Third you can focus on design and what you would like to display proudly when the buddies come over to smoke and have a drink.  There are many different styles and looks to humidors.  Which is why it takes some time to find the right one.

When it’s all said and done you should have a very nice display piece that will be able to care for your cigar for years to come.  Enjoy your search as it is one of the many joys of cigar smoking.  For more humidors and cigar accessories please visit our affiliates: http://www.humishop.com.
