How To Store Cigars: A Primer With Boveda Rob

There are many different storage options for cigars, from the traditional wooden humidor to high-tech wineadors. The best option depends on your needs, for example, in quantity, portability, presentation, and more.

Many cigar smokers think the wooden humidor is an absolute must for a serious aficionado, but an inexpensive airtight container with a Boveda pack is often the most effective way to go.

Of course, an attractive, well-maintained and perfectly seasoned wooden humidor can be a joy in and of itself.

The quickest storage option is the Boveda bag, which comes in several sizes. The small holds 3-5 cigars, the medium holds 12-15, while the large holds almost a whole box. Out of the box, about 80 cigars fit in the large!

Rob prefers the medium Boveda bag for traveling, since it fits a good number of cigars in his briefcase easily.

There are three things to keep in mind when you're getting into cigars:

1. If you use a humidor, you must correctly season it.

2. You'll need a calibrated hygrometer, such as the Boveda Butler.

3. Finally, you need a humidification solution. At Bespoke Unit, we prefer Boveda for its ease and quality.

Later on, when your collection grows larger, you'll start including different types of cigars.

Cuban/Old World cigars are at their best when a little drier, while New World prefer a slightly higher relative humidity.

For instance, Paul created several different storage environments for his inventory. This includes about 900 New World and 300 Old World cigars.

He uses 82-quart tupperware containers with foam gaskets for these, with the large Boveda packs.

Since wooden humidors breathe moisture, they're a bit more complicated to use. You have to think a bit more about humidification distribution.

For example, a mounting plate can secure a Boveda pack in the top of the humidor. Meanwhile, you might use a wooden tray for pack on the bottom, below the cigars.

You must also mind the fact that new cigars will absorb humidity quicker and cause your container's environment to dry. Because wooden humidors are more sensitive, we recommend putting fresh cigars in airtight containers to humidify.

In fact, it takes 4 times longer for a cigar to rehumidify than it does to rehumidify!

Paul often uses large Boveda bags for acclimating new cigars before introducing them to longer-term containers.

Overall, the main important thing for storing large numbers of cigars is air-tight or air-controlled containers. With a calibrated hygrometer and an easy humidification source like Boveda, you'll have a storage solution you can trust!
