Don’t forget to maintain that Humidor now
May 22, 2008 – 6:34 amDo you only get Cuban cigars one at a time so you you can smoke them right away or do you get them by the case so you can age your Cuban cigars too? If you like to buy them by the case like most people do, than you not only need a humidor, but almost more important is learning how to properly take care of your humidor. A humidor is designed to age your cigars and store them for you for as long as you like. A Cuban cigar can be aged for up to fifteen years. Results like these are only possible if you take care of your humidor too. Trust me, it can be a very rewarding experience.
The most important thing is the humidity level that your cigars must be stored at and making sure your humidor can maintain that level. It should be stored between seventy to seventy five degrees fahrenheit. Anything higher or lower than that will not work at all. 70 to 75 degrees is the temperature in Cuba, ideal for Cuban cigars. I guess you can say that little humidor of yours is like little personal Cuba. A nice thought to entertain, I certainly think like that and an attitude like that will make you take care of your Cuban cigars too.
You should have a good thermometer and hygrometer in the area in order to make sure that it is kept at the proper levels at all times. There are some electronic versions of these instruments that you can buy which can be monitored remotely. In fact, you can be sitting in your easy chair and monitoring the temperature of your cigar humidor at the same time. If you notice a wild variation in one of the numbers, make sure that you take action right away as your cigars could be affected quite quickly. Of course, you will also want to make sure that you keep it out of the direct sunlight.
Every once in a while you would have to charge your humidor. In fact, it is what keeps the humidor from not doing its job. You can recharge it by adding a solution every couple of months. However, this is a process in itself, and you should refer to the instructions in your humidor, as they are different for all. Last step is to test everything out because you don’t want anything to go wrong. If something does, adjustments are simple and than you should be on your way.
If you want to take care of your Cuban cigars, take care of your humidor. It’s all about enjoying the true pleasure that is a Cuban cigar. If you can store them in a humidor and age them, than you are probably going to get a lot more out of it. Just like fine wine, aged Cuban cigars only get better with time.
