Sizes of Humidor Devices

Individual

• Individual humidors work well if you seldom smoke or just want to keep a few cigars on hand. These small humidors typically store up to five cigars. Individual-sized humidors store up to five cigars in a small case that slips into your pocket or a drawer. The humidor features a small humidification device set into the top of the container that keeps cigars fresh for several days. Another small humidor device consists of the glass tube in which some cigars are sold. While these tubes usually sit inside a humidor at the cigar shop, they are capable of holding enough humidity for a day or two until you put them in a proper humidor.

Travel

• For cigar smokers on the go, travel-sized humidors make the most sense. The small, travel-sized humidors store up to 10 cigars. If you want to travel with more than 10 cigars, a larger humidor that resembles a small briefcase holds up to several boxes of cigars. Travel-sized humidors are large enough to hold a small humidification device such as a sponge that requires refilling with water to maintain the humidity in the case.

Desktop

• Desktop humidors range in size from small versions that store up to 25 cigars to large versions that feature a shelf with a capacity for holding several hundred cigars. Desktop versions work well in the office and in the home since they come in various styles and colors as well as woods or veneers. Some people prefer custom-made desktop humidors so they the device perfectly matches their furniture. Desktop versions provide plenty of room for humidification devices such a humadisk, a device slightly larger than a drink coaster that lies inside the humidor. Electric humidifiers also fit inside some desktop humidors, helping keep the cigars fresh for months.

Large and Walk-in

• Large-sized humidors appeal to cigar smokers who prefer to store several boxes of cigars, making desktop models a bit too small to handle the job. The large humidors come in many shapes, colors and styles so they match your office or home decor. Walk-in humidors offer the ultimate in cigar storage. Most walk-in humidors are custom built to the size you choose and offer plenty of space for humidification devices. Because the units are custom-made, they are built to match your home or office design. Many walk-in humidors are made from woods such as cherry, maple or mahogany. Some include inlaid veneers while other walk-ins are made from acrylic and metal.
