What are some defining features to look for in a humidor?

The very first thing you should be sure of when purchasing a humidor is the quality of the seal. The humidor should have an air-like sound when opening and closing the humidor as telling sign of the quality of the seal. Other options, such as a humidifier and a hygrometer are also common and a telling sign of a well made humidor. All humidors should have a Spanish cedar lining.

Advice

What causes mold?

The conditions for mold to grow would be if the humidor is too moist or if there is not enough exchange of air between the humidor and its environment. Be careful on how much water you add the humidifier. It should be moist, not damp. If you see water dripping out of a standard sponge humidifier, you’ve added too much. Let the humidifier sit for 10-15 minutes to drip out the excess water to ensure the condition of the humidor does not promote mold. Additionally, be sure to wipe down the humidor with either distilled water or an activator solution prior to storing the cigars in the humidor.

Quick Tips

What is a Calibration Kit?

In short, a calibration kit is used mostly for analog hygrometers and works the same way as the “salt test”. The kit utilizes a relative humidity standard of approximately 75%. The way the kit works is by simply placing the analog hygrometer into the bag of the calibration kit and let it sit for 24 hours. Afterwards, the analog hygrometer will be calibrated and will read properly the humidity level within the humidor.
