How to store cuban cigars the right way

If you are a real cigar aficionado, than please protect your stogies in a humidor. If you don't have one, they are available in a lot of places and you can find a decent on on the internet too. Cigars (Cubans's are made perfect!) although built very nicely, they can't stand the fury that nature throws at them. Especially extreme temperature whether hot or cold or even water damage can ruin a perfect little Cuban cigar.

Humidors not only protect your Cohiba cigars, but also help 'ferment' the Cuban tobacco within them. Aged cigars are considered more valuable and unique, kind of like wine depending on how aged it is. Did you know the Cuban tobacco used in Cohiba cigars is actually aged for 5 years before being rolled? Now that is some serious art! Also did you know that all Cuban cigars are hand made from the time they pick that tobacco to the time they place the appropriate logo on the cigar. I couldn't believe it until I saw the whole thing go down on a video. To say that I was blown away would be an understatement.

You are probably thinking what kind of humidor should you get for yourself. I think a better question would be how would you prefer to store your stogies? You can either get the table humidor, the room humidor or the portable humidor. If you are looking to add further beauty to your existing living room in a creative way, than get the table humidor. A table humidor is usually very stylish and has often become a conversation starter when new guests come over. A table humidor can also be considered fairly expensive of the bunch, some people even collect them because just like Cuban cigars, cigar humidors bring in their own rich tradition. Some of these compact table humidors, although small in size, can store hundreds of thousands of cigars in them. The second kind of humidor is the room humidor. These so called 'room humidors' are literally rooms that are turned into humidors. They are found in most average to large sized cigar companies. These rooms are super high tech and control the temperature of each area in the humidor to almost perfection. Cigars in a room humidor stay as close to perfect as possible. Last and definitely not the least, a portable cigar humidor is what I recommend if you have a small to medium cigar collection. By that I mean maybe 5 to 10 cigars or so. The greatest thing about a portable cigar humidor is that no matter where you go, it's coming with you. Sad part here, a humidor that size can only hold 10 cigars or less.

The lesson here kids is take care of your Cigars. Whether they are Cohibas, Montecristos or Romeos, you need a special little friend called a humidor to place your little friends in. You know they are worth it!
