A Background to Humidors

Humidors are specially designed boxes to store cigars for a long time. They are manufactured from premium quality wood, acrylic, or stainless steel. They have an ideal temperature and humidity to store cigars. They come in different sizes and shapes.  The features include a hygrometer, a humidifier, a Spanish cedar lined interior, a lockset along the key. Cigars have dried tobacco leaves rolled in them. It is essential to store cigars properly to keep the dried tobacco fresh and moisture-free.

When cigars come in direct contact with air for a long time, they can become soggy or dry. Traditionally you would need to use Boveda packs or a separate humidifier to keep your cigars at an ideal temperature. Now with the growing popularity of Electric Humidors, this task is taken care of by built-in electrical systems which take away the guesswork of manual humidity control.

The Hygrometer and Humidity control

A hygrometer is a device that uses to measure the amount of humidity and moisture in a compact area. It attaches to the door of the cabinet humidors. It also has a display to monitor the change in humidity. The Whynter range of Electronic Humidors come in two displays, a digital display, and an analog display.

This is clever as it double checks the humidity. In a digital hygrometer, the monitor gives output in numbers. Whereas, in an analog hygrometer, the monitor gives output with a pointer. From a design perspective, it also looks traditional and adds that old world charm effect to the electric humidor.
