The humidors prices are significantly decreased recently. Many buyers are confused when they find humidors almost identical whose prices vary between 60 EUR and 1000 EUR. Are there so many differences in quality to support these price variations?.
The main characteristic of a humidor is basically to maintain a constant relative humidity in its interior. But also, the following features must be fulfilled:
- The interior wood must absorb humidity well, to achieve this it is recommended to Spanish cedar lining.
- The humidifier should provide enough humidity to maintain humidity levels of 70% approximately.
- The hinges should be durable and guarantee a low friction work for many years. In high-quality humidors only invisible retaining hinges should be used.
- The case of the humidor must lock properly (its not necessary to seal it hermetically) avoiding humidity escape. This way, the humidification system does not require a constant refilling.
- The basic manufacture of the humidor is to ensure that humidity level inside the humidor does not cause deformations of the case or lid and to lock properly after several years of usage. When buying a new humidor, these basic conditions are to be fulfilled and pay attention to offers from non- specialized stores.
