My Thoughts on Traveling Humidors
There’s nothing better than lighting up a stogie when it’s finally time to relax, either after work, on the golf course or after we take care of something major, like private/professional success. The longer we smoke backwoods cigars and become more familiar with cigars, the more we learn about looking after them. And naturally when we start to smoke better, costlier brands, we discover how necessary it is to keep them at their ideal level of freshness. When it is time to travel with our cigars, or even if we only wish to have a smarter way to keep them while going to work or out to dinner, we definitely need a way to protect their flavor, as well as carrying them correctly. And selecting a traveling humidor should be something that we take moderately serious. Truthfully, when you concentrate on it, more people will see our travel humidor than will see our home or primary humidor. So choosing a good, quality traveling humidor should be treated with the same sort of thought and detail as when we chose our home humidor. Here are some tips for choosing a traveling humidor: These are the fundamentals, but knowing them will prepare you for your search. The Size; how many cigars will you be traveling with? Don’t be afraid to overestimate. It is always better to have more room than not enough. Lid and Seal; depending on the type of humidor you want, if it’s a solid case/box, or a leather case, the lid should close with a vacuum seal. You don’t want any air inside your humidor. Air is a cigars enemy and you must always purchase a traveling humidor under the same guidelines as a full size humidor. Inside and Lining; for traveling, a cigar humidor needs fingered casing so that your black and milds cigars stay nice and tight during your travels, especially for a long distance trip. Having good insulation is always a plus. Humidifier Device; the humidifier is the backbone to a great, quality traveling humidor. That is what controls the inside humidity levels in your humidor. Now you have some tips, you are ready to begin your search for the perfect traveling humidor.
