Humidors

The Three Most Commonly Bought Types of Humidors

Before getting into exploring the three most commonly bought types of humidors, it might be a good idea to come up with a brief ‘primer' as to what a humidor is, for the benefit of those who may be encountering them for the first time. Now, humidors are spaces with controlled humidity, used for storing things that would be ruined if exposed to the severe humidity variations. The things we are looking here include, for instance, cigars, cigarettes, and the semi-processed tobacco that is usually sold for people looking to use in for their pipes. Tobacco, as we know it, is very sensitive to variations in temperature. The easiest way to ruin it is by exposing it to huge temperature variations. It therefore becomes imperative to strictly control the humidity in the place where it is stored, with humidors coming in handy in that role.

Now humidors take all shapes and come in all sizes. There are some whose measurements are in terms of cubic inches (where the humidor is a small box-like structure that you place on your table, even in your traveling bag). And then there are those that are huge, sometimes filling a huge room or even a whole building floor. In cases like these (where we are talking of the room/building filling humidors), the humidor tends not to be a ‘stand-alone' structure that is brought in; but rather, it is the room or the building that is redesigned to act as a humidor. All it takes, in any case, is to control the humidity conditions in a given space, to turn that space into a humidor.

There are many companies that make and sell humidors. In the market, the humidors are usually categorized according to, among other things, their sizes. And from this categorizing criterion, we end up with a five types of humidors: room humidors, table humidors, cabinet humidors, travel humidors and personal humidors. And some of these types of humidors tend to be more commonly bought than others.

The most commonly bought variety of humidors are, arguably, those that are known as personal humidors. These are usually very modest in size, and are especially popular amongst (individual) cigar lovers. They can be useful for the people who buy their cigars in bulk, yet who are not heavy smokers, so that the stock of cigarettes bought today could stay for a couple of months or so - during which time they may get messed up by humidity changes. A typical personal humidor will usually have capacity for up to, say, 70 cigars.

Another commonly bought variety of humidors are those that are known as table humidors. They tend to be bigger than the personal humidors, with capacity for several hundreds to a thousand cigars. They are popular with cigar sellers.

Then there are travel humidors, as another variety of commonly bought humidors. Strictly speaking, these fall under the category of personal humidors; but with specialized features for travel. They will tend to take fewer cigars than the typical personal humidors that are created for home usage (so that while the average personal humidor has capacity for 70 cigars, the average travel humidor could take in between 10 and 40).

The other two varieties of humidors - room humidors and cabinet humidors - are less common, being as they are, humidors meant for large scale applications.
