Ideal Humidity
The ideal humidity for your cigars is somewhere
between 65% - 70% RH. The exact humidity is very
much a personal matter. Many people will store
their cigars at a higher humidity than they like
to smoke at and will ‘dry box’ their cigars outside
their humidor for a couple of days before smoking.
Even when you have your humidor seasoned,
established, packed with your favourite cigars
and smelling wonderful (as they usually do) it is
important to check periodically that everything is
OK.
Carefully check your cigars are in good condition. It is often a good idea to move cigars around
periodically to ensure no ‘dry corners’ are created. Also, allowing fresh oxygen into the humidor
periodically helps the aging process.
This video was recorded at Sautter in Knightsbridge.
For some unknown reason Nic didn’t smoke a cigar during
this video. We have had a stern word with him about that!
