1. Capacity: Size Matters

The first thing to consider is how many cigars you plan to store. Cigar humidors come in various sizes, from compact models for a dozen sticks to large cabinets designed for serious collectors.

If you're looking for a mid-size, elegant solution, the CANDOR CW-70H Cigar Humidor is a great option. With a sleek design and advanced humidity control, it’s perfect for users who value both aesthetics and performance. For those with more limited space or smaller collections, the CW-33H Humidor delivers professional-grade storage in a compact form.

2. Humidity Control: The Heart of a Humidor

Maintaining consistent humidity is the most important function of any cigar humidor. Ideally, cigars should be stored at 65-70% relative humidity. Poor humidity control can cause cigars to dry out or become moldy.

That’s where CANDOR stands out. All CANDOR cigar humidors feature intelligent humidity systems with digital control, ensuring a stable environment for your cigars. Models like the XJG-290 Cigar Humidor are equipped with precision sensors and dual fans to evenly distribute moisture, making them ideal for long-term storage.

3. Temperature Management: Preserving Aroma & Taste

While humidity gets most of the attention, temperature is just as vital. Cigars are best stored between 64-70°F (18-21°C) to prevent beetle infestations and flavor deterioration.

CANDOR’s built-in cigar humidors come with automatic temperature regulation to protect against temperature swings. The integration of heating and cooling ensures cigars are stored in optimal conditions year-round, regardless of the season.

4. Materials & Interior Design

Cedarwood lining is a gold standard in humidors. Spanish cedar, in particular, is known for its moisture retention, aroma-enhancing properties, and resistance to pests. Every CANDOR cigar cabinet is carefully constructed using high-quality cedar interiors to support aging and flavor development.

Beyond the materials, the layout matters too. CANDOR humidors feature customizable shelving, drawer systems, and LED lighting to highlight your collection while making it easy to organize and access your cigars.

5. Aesthetics & Placement

A humidor should also complement your living or office space. Modern cigar lovers often seek a balance between functionality and style. Whether you’re placing it in a lounge, study, or bar area, your humidor should make a statement.

CANDOR’s humidors are known for their elegant exteriors, ranging from matte black to wood-grain finishes. Sleek handles, touch-screen panels, and silent operation add to the luxury experience.

Smart humidors are rising in popularity, and CANDOR leads the way with intelligent systems that allow users to monitor temperature and humidity in real-time. Some models even come with app connectivity and alarm systems to alert users of fluctuations.

Locking systems, UV-resistant glass, and quiet compressor technology are other premium features worth considering if you are serious about protecting your cigar investment.
