A
dry cigar will burn too hot, making the smoke bitter and distasteful. Most of
the flavour and finer nuances of the tobacco will be lost and the wrappers are
unlikely to unravel. A damp cigar will not burn properly and your cigar may be
difficult to light and go out very quickly. The wrapper might split and the taste
and aroma of your cigar will most likely turn sour.
So,
unless you're travelling in the tropics where the relative humidity remains a
constant 70%, you will need a cigar travel humidor.
A
premium cigar is like a fine wine. It is essential that you store and transport
it in a cigar travel humidor designed to recreate an environment that protects
it from changes in humidity, changes in temperature, light and unpleasant, invasive
odours.
A good cigar
travel humidor will protect your premium cigars from the consequences of a
hostile environment. Your humidor should have a nice, well-adjusted fit between
box and lid to maintain moisture and a humidification source which will prevent
your cigars from being too wet or too dry. A cigar travel humidor will
insure that delicate balance and guarantee that your premium cigars remain fresh
and pleasant to smoke.
If
you travel often or are leaving on an extended trip, a cigar travel humidor
is your best guarantee to ensure that your premium cigars are stored correctly
so that they will age well, burn as they should burn and give you the flavour
and smoking experience you bought and count on from your premium cigar.
