The humidor: the essential accessory

Humidor

To preserve its aromas and quality, a cigar must be stored at the proper temperature and humidity level. Owning a humidor is therefore essential for any enthusiast looking to enjoy the best possible experience.

Available in various sizes, materials, and designs, humidors are generally made from Spanish cedar and fitted with a hygrometer. There are also travel humidors, ideal for safely transporting cigars.

Essential accessories for cigar lovers

Cigar cutters

A quality cigar cutter is essential for ensuring a clean, precise cut on cigars. This accessory comes in different models, each suited to a specific type of cut. To find out which cigar cutter to choose, feel free to consult our detailed article on the subject.

Lighters

There are two main types of cigar lighters: soft-flame lighters and torch lighters. Whatever your choice, it is important to choose a butane gas lighter rather than a paraffin one. A yellow flame provides a gentle light and is odorless, helping preserve the cigar’s aromas.

Cigar ashtrays have notches specially adapted to the ring gauge of the cigars. Both functional and decorative, they come in a variety of materials and add a touch of sophistication to the smoking ritual.
