Before First Use

A humidor arrives dry and must be seasoned before it will hold a climate. Wipe the interior cedar with a cloth dampened in distilled water, soak the humidifier in distilled water and blot it dry, then close the humidor over a small dish of distilled water for 48 to 72 hours. Confirm the hygrometer holds steadily between 65% and 72% before loading cigars.

Distilled water only — tap water carries minerals that stain the cedar and foul the humidifier. Recharge every two to four weeks, calibrate the hygrometer twice a year, and keep the humidor out of direct sunlight and away from vents. Humidification supplies are not included; distilled water and two-way humidity packets are widely available.

Chosen for a shallow shelf or a crowded desk — three and a quarter inches tall where most sit at four and a half. For the full fifty at the capacity we argue for, see the Onyx; for the same capacity as a finished gift, with the cutter, ashtray and travel case included, see the Diplomat.

Questions we are asked

Will it fit a shallow shelf? That is what it is for. It is 3-1/4 inches tall where most humidors sit at 4-1/2, built wide rather than tall.

How many cigars does it hold? 25 to 50.

Does it lock? No. It closes on internal hinges; there is no key lock. For a lock and key, see the Onyx.

Is it ready to use when it arrives? No. Every humidor arrives dry and must be seasoned for 48 to 72 hours with distilled water. Field Guide No. 07, Season It, or Ruin It?, has the full protocol.
