If you are thinking about purchasing a Humidor then I would advise you to go online first in order to find out more about the different types of humidor brands that are available so that at the end of the day, you make the right decision and get a product that will actually be of use to you.
The problem with most humidors is the fact that their wood has not been properly seasoned. The problem with wood that has not been seasoned is that it can absorb a lot of moisture and if you place your cigars within such a box then the moisture that the box will be producing on its own will be absorbed by the wood and the cigars will be left with nothing. If a cigar does not receive the right amount of humidity, it will either start to taste really bad or will not burn properly.
