Proper storage preserves aroma and even burn. The ideal environment is around 65–72% relative humidity and 18–21°C.
A humidor is a tool, not a luxury — even a compact model is enough for a home collection.
Avoid direct sunlight and sudden temperature swings. Do not store cigars in the fridge — it dries the wrapper.
Leave a little space between cigars for air circulation and check your hygrometer regularly.
Reviving a dry cigar is slow — prevention is always the better approach.
