As soon as tobacco appeared in the Americas, enthusiasts realised that preserving this plant required specific conditions to preserve its aromas and properties. So began the search for an effective way to keep tobacco, and later cigars, in optimum condition.
What is a Humidor?
A humidor is a box or cabinet specially designed to maintain a constant level of humidity and temperature. These two factors are crucial to the long-term preservation of cigars, which are environmentally sensitive products. Cigars are made from dried tobacco leaves, and without proper humidity control there is a risk that they will dry out or become too damp, which can affect their quality.
The birth of the modern humidor
The humidor as we know it today really took shape at the beginning of the 20th century, with the introduction of built-in humidifiers and hygrometers to monitor humidity levels. This innovation revolutionised cigar storage, ensuring that cigars could be kept in perfect conditions for months or even years.
The first modern humidors were often luxury items, made by specialist craftsmen for wealthy customers. As well as being functional, they were often elaborately decorated, becoming symbols of prestige and refinement.
