Don’t let your cigar collection go up in smoke

Protect your cigars with a reputable humidor. Pixabay

Credit Christopher Columbus for introducing cigars to the world. During his initial voyage to the Caribbean in 1492, his crew came upon natives in Hispaniola (today’s Haiti and the Dominican Republic) who presented the strangers with rolled-up leaves of dried tobacco. Fast forward a few centuries, and cigars remain a symbol of adventure and nostalgia. If you’re a fan of expensive cigars, no doubt you’ve pondered the pros and cons of investing in a humidor to protect them. Today’s humidors are both elegant and efficient – combining the benefits of a wood cabinet with the humidity controls available through modern technology. If you’re shopping for a cigar humidor, we’d recommend these options.
