About humidity in humidors from Prof. Dr. Florentin Lange


Cigars are in constant flux with the humidity in the surrounding air. They only develop their full flavour when they have reached equilibrium at a relative humidity of about 72%. Notable amounts of water are involved in this process. The water content of a cigar in equilibrium (with a relative humidity around 72%) amounts to 15% of its weight. This results in a water content of 1.5 gms for a typical cigar of 10 gms weight.

After being stored for a longer period at a relative humidity of, e.g. 50%, a cigars lacks about 0.5 gram of water compared to ideal conditions. Accordingly, for 50 such cigars this amounts to about 25 gms (=cm3) of water which must be supplied via an exchange of humidity with the air surrounding the cigars. In addition, for wooden humidors an appreciable quantity of water is stored within the wood. Such humidors also tend to lose water vapour to the external air which is, in most cases, too dry.

Accordingly, the desired humidity level inside a humidor has to be reliably and continuously adjusted. Under such ideal conditions, cigars will attain their desired humidity level in the course of several days.
