Modern Cigar Boxes and Customization.



I am not a fan of tobacco products (gosh they’re the worst) but one we can all agree on is that Cigar Boxes are magnificent. My fascination with these boxes started when I was 7. We went to visit my grandfather in Massachusetts (he owned a huge Victorian era house). He had a cedar wood cigar box that he kept in his study, it was one of the most majestic objects I have seen, it was partly because of my grandfather’s personality too. Whatever the reason maybe, I felt strongly towards the box and when no one was looking, I always tried to touch it.

Humidors:

When I was in high school, I had a project where I had to describe a modern invention, revolutionizing an old concept. I was researching when I came across cigar humidors. These are modern containers for tobacco product with advanced features to keep the product fresh for longer. These are humidity controlled boxes that prevent the tobacco products (now cannabis too) from going stale.

What constitutes a humidor?

There are many brands (some pretty high-end) that manufacture humidors but basic concept it almost same in all. There are three key components of a humidor:
  • Magnetic locking lid
  • Adjustable divider and strap
  • Digital Hygrometer


Materials:

Exterior varies from brand to brand. Leather, cedar wood and plastic are some most common materials used. Cedar wood boxes are most expensive; the antique ones can cost you around $5000. Then comes leather humidors, they range from $1500 to $100 depending on the size of the box and quality of leather. The cheapest one came out with a plastic exterior and you can get it for $40-$60.

Uses:

These boxes were created primarily for people who travel a lot and want to keep their tobacco or cannabis fresh for longer but now people use them to store products at home as well. Hygrometer keeps the moisture at bay and keeps the cigars fresh for longer, normal life of a cigar with aluminum tubes is almost 30 days which can be significantly increased by a humidor.

At first humidors were popular with cigar and cigarette consumers but now even stoners love this product. People use humidors for keeping their cannabis and pipe tobacco as well.
Humidors started out as walk-in rooms to store cigars and other tobacco products, but now box and cabinet is a popular type. Some people get cabinets build in their houses for storing cigars and those who can’t afford that settle for travel size humidors. I personally prefer travel size boxes, as they look chic and sometimes make a great accessory.
I still love collecting antique cigar boxes but these travel size humidors came out as total game changers. Once you get used to one, you’ll never go back to regular containers for your tobacco.
