Tips for Storing Cigars
Collecting cigars can be done by anyone over the legal age. It is simple and easy to do. Storing cigars typically involves storing them in humidor bags, acrylic jars, Tuppadors, desktop humidors, or humidor coolers. Improperly storing cigars can ruin them if they do not get smoked quickly enough. Cigars, their wrappers, and the tobacco need to be in specific conditions so that they do not dry out and lose their bodies, and flavor, and so that the wrappers do not break.
Boveda Bags
This is the cheapest option when it comes to storing cigars. They keep cigars fresh for up to one year. You want to store these bags somewhere fresh and cool in your home and that’s it. Boveda bags are nice options for those who only want to enjoy the cigar and do not care much about any extra stuff involving cigars. However, cigars can get damaged in these bags because they are not very protective.
Tuppadors and Acrylic Jars
This option is for those who do not mind spending a little bit more money to store their cigars. They are acrylic or plastic jars that can store your cigars. Tuppadors, the plastic tubs, offer more protection than Boveda bags and are great at maintaining humidity. Acrylic jars use a Boveda pouch that only needs to be replaced occasionally. Prices vary for these types of storage containers.
Desktop Humidors
These are essentially wooden boxes with humidor units in them. They are generally cedar-lined because it helps with humidity management and repels insects. They are beautifully crafted boxes that look more appropriate for storing cigars and are viewed as classier storage containers. The price of these varies widely, but you can find a nice affordable one for beginning your cigar collection.
Humidor Coolers
The only problem with the other cigar storage options is that you cannot control the temperature. Coolers allow you to control the temperature of your cigars which is very important for keeping your cigar’s integrity intact. Cigars that are too warm can allow cigar beetle eggs to start hatching. Coolers are especially useful in hot climates. They can be quite expensive.
