Benefits of Cigar Humidors

If you are not an experienced cigar smoker, you may be wondering why cigar aficionados use humidors.  Humidors are used to store and protect cigars so that they are kept at their peak flavor.  A humidor works by keeping a cigar at a constant temperature, somewhere between 68 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and about 70-72% humidity.

Many cigar aficionados claim that the ideal temperature for storing cigars is 70 degree F.  Any lower will tend to age the cigar, rather than keep it at a constant level.  Humidors are not meant to age, but rather to preserve the integrity, flavor, and color of the cigar.

Infusion Cigar Humidor

An infusion cigar humidor is a humidor that infuses cigars with the flavor of your favorite liquor.  It brings two of your favorite things together for one great taste.  There are a variety of infusion barrel humidors out there that you can buy.  Just make sure that you are getting one that maintains a decent humidity level.  Most of them only require that you add tap water now and then.

Infusion cigar humidors are very easy to use.  You simply put a little of your favorite liquor in a spray bottle and wet the interior of the infusion barrel.  Make sure it is wet enough to be soaked up by the different stalls in the barrel.  Then place your cigars in each of the stalls and close the infusion barrel.  Allow your cigars to sit in there for at least 2-days to absorb the flavor of your choice.

These infusion cigar humidors really are a big sell for the ladies.  Ladies often like a fruity taste when they are smoking, as opposed to the harder wood flavor.  Spraying something such as apply brandy in the humidor will allow them to take on a softer flavor for your lady friends.  Also, liqueurs come in just about any flavor these days, so you can basically create any flavor cigar you’d like!
