Buying Your Portable Humidor

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

There is nothing better than lighting up a smoke when its time to let go, either after work, on the golf course and after we take care of something major, like an individual and a pro fulfillment.  And the longer we puff on smokes and become more familiar with smokes – the more we find out about looking after them.  And naturally when we begin to smoke hand rolled, dearer brands, we discover how vital it is to keep them at there ideal level of freshness.  You didn’t have to worry about getting a traveling case for your Dutch Master Cigars that you used to purchase.So when it is time to travel with our smokes -or even if we only want a better way to store them while going to work or out on small business dinners -we definitely need a easier way to guard there flavour, as well as carry them properly.  And choosing a Cigar Travel Humidor should be something that we take slightly seriously.  Truthfully, when you concentrate on it, more folks will see our travel humidor than will see our home or first humidor.  So picking a good, quality travelling humidor should be treated with the same sort of thought and detail as when we chose our home humidor.  Here are some tips for selecting a travelling humidor : These are the basics, but knowing them will prepare you for your search.  The Size- fundamentally, how many cigars will you travel with.  Don’t be scared to over do it a bit.  Clearly, it’s better to have more space than not enough.  Lid and Seal – Depending on the type of humidor you want – whether it be a solid case / box -or a leather one – The lid should close on a cushion of air.  We don’t want ANY air within our humidor.  Air is the enemy and regardless of size, we should always purchase a cigar travel humidor that follows the same elements as a regular humidor.  Inside and Lining – For traveling, our cigar humidor desires fingered casing so that our cigars stay nice and snug during our travels -especially for long distance trips.  And a good insulated material is always a plus .  Humidifier Device – I’ve seen some fellows that essentially paid money on a humidor with no humidifier device – and its a total let down.  The Humidifier is the backbone of a good, quality travel humidor.  That’s what controls the inside humidity levels within the cigar travel humidor.
