What is the Purpose of a Hygrometer?

Measure Humidity

• Hygrometers measure the humidity that is in a humidor.

Maintain Humidity Level

• If the humidity within a humidor is too low or too high, than cigars can become damaged. Hygrometers will help you maintain an appropriate level.

Moldy Cigars

• If hygrometers show a high level of humidity in a humidor, than cigars may become moldy.

Dried out Cigars

• If a hygrometer shows a low level of humidity within a humidor, than cigars may dry out and crack.

Essential for Humidors

• Since hygrometers are an essential part of humidors, many humidors come with them built in. There are also many hygrometers that are available without a humidor in case yours breaks.
