How to Store Cuban Cigars

In order to maintain the perfect environment for your Cuban cigars, they must be stored correctly. A regular environment can wreak havoc on your expensive Cuban cigars.

Whether aging your Cuban cigars or storing them for only a few days, any cigar aficionado can tell you the best way to store them is within a humidor.

Humidors are boxes for Cuban cigars which maintain a certain temperature and humidity. A good humidor will contain both a hygrometer (for measuring humidity) and a thermometer (for measuring temperature). Your Cuban cigars should be kept at a temperature of 60-64 degrees Fahrenheit (16-18 degrees Celsius) and humidity levels at 65-70%. This is vital for the health of your Cuban cigars; a dry cigar can be harsh and overly moist cigars can be hard to light.

Humidors come in various shapes, sizes and designs and can be a visually pleasing decoration in itself. Most good Cuban cigar stores will sell various humidors so it is never very hard to find one to suit your needs. Just check out your local cigar shop or alternatively, check out the links below for a couple of online stores which sell reasonably priced, high quality humidors:
