Compact and Spacious

If you own a large collection of fine cigars, this humidor box will help you store your full-flavoured tobacco bundles in the most favourable environment. Despite being relatively compact, this humidor has a fairly good capacity - up to 125 Corona cigars. Of course, the capacity will be lower if you stuff the unit with bigger cigars. The GERMANUS humidor is a tabletop model, which means you can place it on a table, on a bureau, in some special niche or even on the floor. The door is just like on a fridge - it opens easily and has a large glass window. There is a large analogue hygrometer on the door that shows you the level of humidity inside the humidor. Moreover, the hygrometer adds a touch of luxury to the unit! Actually, the exterior finish of any humidor is a matter of style and your personal preferences; the only important issue is that the body of the unit mustn't let the air in. The interior finish is really important! As usual, the best humidors (and the GERMANUS Cube Dravus is one of them) have a Spanish cedar interior - this type of wood emits no odours and, thus, your cigars preserve their natural fragrance. We would like to draw your attention to the convenience of this humidor - it has 4 drawers for storing a variety of cigar brands and there are also 3 dividers (you can buy more separately if you find it reasonable). As you can see, this is a truly stylish humidor allowing you to store your favourite cigars for a long time and enjoy smoking them whenever you wish. If you believe the analogue hygrometer isn't good enough, you can use an additional digital hygrometer.

For Amateurs and Connoisseurs

If you've tried smoking cigars and liked it, it's high to buy a special box for keeping them or, in other words, a humidor. Do you want to save money and do without it? Think again! You are unlikely to smoke cigar every day and, therefore, you will need to store them somehow. Yes, the air in your house isn't suitable for cigars - they will get too dry and lose their natural odour. Smoking a too dry cigar isn't a good idea and experienced aficionados know why. Thus, buying this Angelo humidor makes sense. It isn't expensive and amateur smokers will certainly like it. The model has a top lid with a large glass window allowing you to enjoy the view of your collection. The box is made of genuine Spanish cedar - the best material that doesn't share its own odour with cigars. We would like to draw your attention to an adjustable divider this humidor has - you can place it the way you need. Moreover, if you smoke some specific cigar brand, you can easily remove the divider at all. The model comes with a classy analogue hygrometer and a humidifier. The hygrometer is placed outside the box so you can cast a glance at the humidor and find out the humidity level. The humidifier can be filled with distilled water or with a special humidification solution (sold separately) that protects from mould. As for style, this humidor suits nearly any kind of interior. Summing up, the Angelo humidor will surely be a worthy and stylish investment!

What is a Humidor

A humidor will become a precious accessory for any cigar gourmet. It’s a stylishly designed box or cassette with a humidifier and hygrometer inside to keep tobacco safe against the mold and drying. Knowing the moisture level inside the box, you’ll face no risk of cigar deterioration and always have quality tobacco to enjoy. Humidors quite differ from one another. Some humidor boxes are quite big and, thus, meant to be placed on a polished table or desk. Others are more lightweight and portable for use on trips and journeys. Some humidors are rather tiny in size and, hence, offer small capacity while others may become a perfect store for a big collection of cigars and decorate your parlour with elaborate design and style. The popular materials used in the production of humidors are natural wood with a cedar interior finish and metal with foam inside (as a travel option).

We also suggest considering one of electric can openers.

What Features to Compare

The first and foremost issue to consider is the Size and Capacity of a box. How many cigars do you need to keep at home? Let’s say it’s 30, so when estimating the capacity of different humidors, make sure that the chosen model is capable of accommodating these 30 cigars and that it also gives you some extra room for adding more. Depending on your collection of cigars and need for smoking, decide on a size. The models greatly vary in size and give you a variety of choices. As a first-time buyer, you may easily do with a small and portable humidor. A gourmet with a rich collection of tobacco is more likely to prefer a cabinet or a tabletop humidor for not just storing all his (or her) cigars but also highlighting the social status and prosperity. This is why the Design of any humidor box matters. It goes without saying that usability of a humidor should be considered in the first place. For some customers, a humidor is much more than a simple box with cigars! For this reason, manufacturers put a lot of effort into producing not only practical but also beautiful humidors.

The other thing you’d definitely need to consider is the Material a humidor is made of. Since the beginning of the production of these accessories, they have been made of natural wood, however, the trend to produce more portable units has started an epoch of compact size metal cases. With such small cases, it’s become possible to have your favourite sorts of cigars always at hand no matter where you go.

Depending on the price, the Interior Finish of humidors can be made either of Spanish cedar wood or simple foam. Both are used to absorb and retain moisture inside a humidor. Not all but most humidors are equipped with hygrometers that allow you to check the moisture level in the box and ensure appropriate storage of cigars. Consider whether a humidor has any dividers - they will separate cigars of one brand from those of another.
