Do your Cuban cigars right
Are you a real cigar enthusiast, than please get a humidor if you want to savor your Cuban cigars for a long time. These humidors are available in a lot of different cigar shops and you can find a great one on the internet too. Cigars (Cubans are made perfect!) although built very nicely, they can’t stand the fury that nature throws at them. Especially up and down temperatures can mess up your Cuban cigar.
Humidors are also used to ‘enhance’ your current Cuban cigars by aging them. Yes you can ‘age’ certain cigars just like wine. In fact, the whole process is called Cuban tobacco fermentation. Just like how it works for wine, aging a cigar can greatly enhance its flavors. The ‘filler’ tobacco used for the Cohiba cigar is actually aged for 5 years before being used. Plus all Cuban Cigars are hand rolled, except a very few exceptions such as the Puritos or ‘Minis’. Why would you not want to protect something that is so valuable?
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. So what kind of humidor should you select for your cigar? It all depends on how many cuban cigars you plan to store and where you plan to store them. There are 3 main different types of humidors: Table, Room and Portable.Table humidors are something that you would want to leave in your living room as its the most stylish and also the most expensive kind.
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.
These are well kept and maintained rooms that are monitored constantly my automatic and pre-set gauges. A portable humidor is what most individual purchase. It is small, affordable and it works. A lot of people get custom designed humidors to reflect their love and appreciation for the cuban cigars. The only downside is that these humidors are fairly small and can only hold 10 – 15 cigars.So regardless of how many cuban cigars you buy, make sure you got a nice humidor to stack those beauty’s in. Plus only share it with good company – real people who deserve it.
