Every member, user, and aficionado who is part of My Cigar Pack understands that maintaining the proper humidity level of cigars is of utmost importance. Maintaining optimal humidity levels is paramount to preserving their flavor, aroma, and overall quality. Humidity rules and recommendations serve as guiding principles for aficionados, ensuring that their prized cigars remain in pristine condition. Generally, the ideal humidity range for cigar storage falls between 65% to 72%, with 70% often considered the sweet spot. This level of humidity helps prevent cigars from drying out or becoming overly moist, both of which can adversely affect their smoking experience.

To regulate humidity effectively, cigar enthusiasts rely on a variety of accessories designed specifically for this purpose. Humidors, in particular, are indispensable tools that provide a controlled environment for storing cigars. These boxes are typically lined with cedar wood, which not only imparts a pleasant aroma but also helps regulate humidity levels. Additionally, humidification devices such as Boveda packs or electronic humidifiers are commonly used to maintain consistent humidity within the humidor, ensuring cigars remain in optimal condition.

Cigar Humidity - FAQ

1) What is the perfect humidity for cigars?

Ideally, maintain humidity levels within the range of 65% to 72%. It is advisable to keep cigars within this humidity range as exceeding it can lead to mold formation. While these percentages are specific, they are commonly regarded as the optimal humidity levels that effectively extend the lifespan of your cigars.

2) How do you know if you over humidify cigars?

If you observe that your cigars feel excessively spongy or moist, it's likely a sign of over-humidification. Other indicators may include the presence of mold on the cigars or a musty odor emanating from them.

3) Is 60% humidity bad for cigars?

Once you're certain that your cigars have adjusted to humidity levels between 62-65% over a prolonged duration, you may enjoy them. Alternatively, you can continue to humidify your cigars until they reach 70% RH again, though it's advisable to regard 72% as the upper limit for premium cigars.

4) Why won't my humidor get to 70?

Maybe the wood hasn't reached a stable state yet. It may require up to 5 to 6 weeks for fresh, dry wood to absorb sufficient moisture to maintain the interior humidity at 70%. Exercise patience and keep in mind that you'll need to replenish your humi-brick several times within the initial month to adequately saturate the wood.

5) Is 80% humidity too high for cigars?

In the 65-75% range cigars can be stored for long periods of time without any concern. Caution is required, however, if the humidity level should exceed 80%. In this case the cigar can begin to rot and mold.

6) Can dry cigars be rehydrated?

Yes, a dehydrated cigar can be somewhat remedied through rehydration methods. Placing the cigar in a well-maintained humidor set at 70% humidity or utilizing a rehydration pack can gradually replenish its moisture content and enhance its smoking characteristics.

7) How long can cigars last without a humidor?

A cigar can maintain its quality for several days outside of a humidor before you detect any negative taste changes. If the cigar is wrapped, it may retain its freshness for up to 30 days without the heat and humidity provided by a humidor. However, if the cigar is unwrapped, it may only preserve its flavor for up to three days before noticeable changes occur.

8) How long does it take to rehumidify a cigar?

The process of rehydrating a cigar typically spans from two to six weeks, varying based on factors such as the cigar's ring gauge thickness and its initial dryness. This duration is necessary because merely hydrating the wrapper isn't sufficient; adequate time is needed for moisture to permeate the innermost leaves of the filler.

9) Can a humidor go bad?

Throughout this process, it's recommended to utilize a hygrometer to monitor the humidity levels inside your humidor. If the hygrometer indicates a drop below 65 percent, it signals the need to initiate the reseasoning process. Failing to reseason and allowing humidity levels to decline can result in the drying out of the interior wood, affecting the condition of both the humidor and the cigars stored within it.

10) How do you store cigars without a humidor?

Tupperware & Sponge Method. Creating a Tupperware humidor presents a convenient and cost-effective method for preserving the freshness of your cigars. All you need to do is dampen a clean, unused kitchen sponge with distilled water, then place it alongside your cigars in a clean Tupperware container and securely seal the lid.
