A Background to Humidors

Humidors are specially designed boxes to store cigars for a long time. They are manufactured from premium quality wood, acrylic, or stainless steel. They have an ideal temperature and humidity to store cigars. They come in different sizes and shapes.  The features include a hygrometer, a humidifier, a Spanish cedar lined interior, a lockset along the key. Cigars have dried tobacco leaves rolled in them. It is essential to store cigars properly to keep the dried tobacco fresh and moisture-free.

When cigars come in direct contact with air for a long time, they can become soggy or dry. Traditionally you would need to use Boveda packs or a separate humidifier to keep your cigars at an ideal temperature. Now with the growing popularity of Electric Humidors, this task is taken care of by built-in electrical systems which take away the guesswork of manual humidity control.

The Hygrometer and Humidity control

A hygrometer is a device that uses to measure the amount of humidity and moisture in a compact area. It attaches to the door of the cabinet humidors. It also has a display to monitor the change in humidity. The Whynter range of Electronic Humidors come in two displays, a digital display, and an analog display.

This is clever as it double checks the humidity. In a digital hygrometer, the monitor gives output in numbers. Whereas, in an analog hygrometer, the monitor gives output with a pointer. From a design perspective, it also looks traditional and adds that old world charm effect to the electric humidor.

Enhanced Performance Thermoelectric Humidor

Whynter humidors provide the best performance with all the latest technology features and have advanced functionalities. Whynter cigar humidors are equipped with a two-in-one feature. This feature includes a cigar humidor for hand-rolled tobacco and cigars along with a cigar cooler that helps you to enjoy fresh cigars with chilled wine.

A Whynter stainless steel humidor is considered one of the best cigar humidors due to its electric system. It works with the help of sensors. The sensor detects the amount of moisture outside. It turns on the ventilator of the cabinet and circulates air through it. The ventilators automatically turn off when the temperature reaches the preset ideal value.

Electronic cabinets don’t require any person to operate. The user needs only once to start the system and monitor it occasionally.
