A humidor is any kind of box or room with constant humidity, used to store cigars, cigarettes, or pipe tobacco. For private use, small wooden or acrylic glass humidor boxes for a few dozen cigars are used, while cigar shops may have walk-in humidors, sometimes consisting of a whole floor.



All humidors contain a humidifying system which keeps the air moist, which in turn keeps the cigars moist.



Humidor should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
