Problems Related To Storing Cigars Without a Humidor
A true cigar connoisseur wouldn’t dare take shortcuts with such prized possessions, but if you store your cigars without a humidor, there are consequences. Some implications of poor cigar storage include:
1. Cigars will become moldy and cracked
Why did my cigar get moldy? Think of cigars as delicate flowers – they’ll wither quickly when left out in the sun, especially in summer. If you leave cigars out with the AC on or in direct sunlight, they’ll dry out quickly. Windy and sunny weather are notorious culprits, as they compromise the overall quality and smokability. This can make the puff taste like ash. With a humidor, you can moderate the moisture content and humidity to extend the cigar longevity and quality.
