The Key to Preserving Cigar Quality: Why Cigar Storage and Walk-in Humidors Matter

The Importance of Proper Cigar Storage: How a Walk-in Humidor Preserves Flavor and Quality

For any cigar aficionado, cigar storage, or maintaining the perfect flavor and quality of their cigars is paramount. But achieving this doesn't just depend on selecting the right cigar—it hinges heavily on proper storage. Whether you're a seasoned cigar lover or a novice just starting out, understanding the role of a walk-in humidor can make all the difference in preserving the craftsmanship and rich flavors of your favorite cigars.

At Creekside Cigar Co., our walk-in humidor is designed with one goal in mind: to offer the best possible storage conditions for cigars. In this post, we’ll explore the importance of proper cigar storage and how our humidor plays a crucial role in ensuring that each cigar remains as fresh and flavorful as the day it was rolled.

Why Proper Cigar Storage Is Essential


Cigars are made of natural, organic materials, which means that they are highly sensitive to changes in their environment. Without the proper conditions, cigars can quickly lose their flavor, become too dry, or absorb too much moisture, rendering them unpleasant to smoke.

The two most critical factors in maintaining a cigar’s quality are humidity and temperature. When cigars are stored at the wrong humidity levels, they either dry out, leading to a harsh, brittle experience, or absorb too much moisture, which can cause mold and ruin the delicate tobacco leaves. Similarly, extreme temperature variations can cause cigars to age prematurely or spoil entirely.

Proper cigar storage ensures that cigars retain their original flavor profile, strength, and quality over time. This is where the walk-in humidor comes into play, offering a controlled environment that maintains optimal conditions for cigars.

The Role of Humidity and Temperature in Cigar Storage


The ideal storage conditions for cigars are 70% relative humidity and a temperature of around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. These conditions mimic the tropical climates where cigars are traditionally rolled, helping preserve the moisture content within the tobacco leaves and preventing the oils, which give cigars their unique flavors, from evaporating.

If cigars are kept in an environment that’s too dry, they will dry out and lose their rich, nuanced flavors, becoming brittle and prone to cracks. On the other hand, if cigars are stored in an environment with too much humidity, the excess moisture can cause mold and lead to uneven burns or a bitter taste when smoked.

A properly maintained humidor keeps both humidity and temperature at optimal levels, safeguarding the cigar’s integrity and ensuring it ages gracefully without losing its character. Creekside Cigar Co.’s walk-in humidor is specifically designed to offer this kind of precision control, providing peace of mind for cigar enthusiasts who care about quality and craftsmanship.
