- Lot Description
Vintage Humidor. Hinged lid, wooden exterior, metal interior.
Size: 11 1/2 x 8 x 4 in.
#2507 #87 .
A humidor is a humidity-controlled box used primarily for storing cigars, cigarettes, cannabis, or pipe tobacco. The word can also be used interchangeably for a room that serves that same purpose, but is often more for displaying of the items than simple storage. Either too much or too little humidity can be harmful to tobacco products, so a humidor’s primary function is to maintain a steady, desirable moisture level inside. It also protects its contents from physical damage and deterioration from exposure to sunlight and other elements. For private use small wooden boxes holding a few dozen or fewer cigars are common, while cigar shops may have walk-in humidors. Many humidors use hygrometers to monitor their humidity levels, and when used and maintained properly humidors can keep cigars fresh and in perfect condition for decades. Commercially produced humidor cases are typically made of polished wood, although materials such as acrylic, glass, and metal can be used as well. Aside from a pleasing aesthetic, the purpose of the casing is to protect the interior and create a closed environment, so any durable and airtight material can be used. The most popular wood historically for both the exterior and interior of humidors has been Spanish cedar, which is considered most desirable since it holds more moisture than most woods to help maintain humidity. It is also not prone to warping or cupping in high humidity, it imparts aroma to the cigars (similar to the process of adding flavor to whisky through barrelling), and most importantly it repels tobacco beetles, microscopic insects that can infest and destroy whole crop fields with horrifying efficiency.
Condition
Commensurate with age and use.
