Cigar Humidors

 

Simple Steps in Making a Homemade Cigar Humidor 

So you just can’t seem to get enough of cigars. If you are collecting cigars, the best thing that you can do for them is to provide them a good place to stay. There are a lot of cigar accessories that you can rely on and one of these is a humidor. Cigars must not be damped because this would make them hard to smoke. Cigar humidors do not only add to the aesthetic appeal of your homes but they are very functional in keeping your precious cigars fresh too. 

There are a lot of shops that offer cigar humidors and other cigar accessories. There are actually different kinds of humidors that you can choose from. You can have a personal humidor or a cabinet-type. You just have to pick the style that matches your personality well. But do you know that you can actually get more practical by making your own humidor? It only takes few simple steps. You may follow these instructions to be able to build a homemade humidor. 

1. Get a plastic container. Make sure that the one that you shall use seals tightly. There has to be no air escaping. If it has, then look for another. You need to find a reliable container that seals strongly. 

2. Get your old wooden cigar boxes and then place them inside the plastic container. Two wooden boxes will be enough. 

3. Put a digital thermometer inside the plastic container. 

4. Wet a sponge and squeeze it until it is slightly damp. Put them inside the plastic container and make sure that they are a corner away from the wooden boxes. This will prevent the wooden boxes from getting too wet because if it is, the cigars will be surely ruined. 

5. Place the cigars inside the wooden boxes and then seal the lid very tightly. 

6. Make sure that you open your humidor once every week. This will allow the cigars to breath every now and then. This one is very important especially when you are using a plastic humidor. 

Making your own humidor can bring out your creative side but of course, high-quality humidors that are sold can be way better than plastic humidors. You may want to purchase a humidor that can add to your home’s elegance and protect your cigars better. It will be up to you. Take your time to decide.
