a) What type of humidor is best for my cigars?

Choosing the right humidor depends on two things: how many cigars you plan to collect and what kind of functionality you need. Humidors come in different sizes, from small and portable to large cabinet-style storage. If you’re always on the move—camping, golfing, or hiking—our compact humidor bag is perfect, keeping up to 20-30 cigars fresh and secure. If you’re looking for something more permanent, wooden flatbet humidors or cabinet humidors will serve you well. Check out our different designs here:

b) How do I set up a humidor?

Before storing your cigars, you need to set up your humidor properly to create the perfect environment. The easiest way? Season it with Boveda seasoning sachets—a foolproof process that takes about 14 days. This ensures your cigars stay fresh and flavorful. Need a step-by-step guide?

c) What’s the best cigar for a beginner?

Starting your cigar journey can feel overwhelming with all the choices out there! If you visit a physical cigar shop, a tobacconist can guide you to a good starter cigar. Shopping online? A great tip is to look for mild cigars. We also offer a Beginner Starter Pack, which includes four beginner-friendly cigars, a lighter, and a cutter—everything you need to get started!

d) Why do I need cigar accessories?

Cigar accessories aren’t just fancy add-ons—they enhance your experience and make your smoke session smooth and enjoyable. Here are the essentials:

1. Cigar Cutter – Every cigar has a cap at the head to keep it intact. A cutter helps you remove it neatly, ensuring proper airflow.
2. Cigar Lighter – You need a powerful, odorless lighter that can evenly toast the foot of your cigar without affecting its flavor.
3. Cigar Ashtray – Cigar ash can be messy, so an ashtray helps keep things clean and organized.
4. Cigar Humidor – Once your collection grows, a humidor becomes a must-have. It keeps your cigars fresh, maintains flavor, and even allows them to age beautifully.

e) Are dark-wrapped cigars stronger?

Not necessarily! Dark-wrapped cigars, also known as maduros, often get a bad rep for being strong—but that’s a misconception. The darker color actually comes from an extended aging process, which makes them smoother and richer in flavor. In fact, there are mild maduros that even beginners can enjoy. Want to try one? Check out some great options from our webstore.

f) How are cigars made?

Cigar-making is a meticulous and rigorous, hands-on process. It all starts with planting and nurturing tobacco seedlings. Once the leaves mature, they are carefully harvested, sorted by color, size and quality, and left to dry for weeks (sometimes even years!). After curing, skilled rollers—called torcedores—hand-roll the cigars with precision, ensuring each one meets the highest standards. The result? A perfectly crafted cigar ready for you to enjoy.
