A cigar humidor refers to a specialized box designed for the storing, preserving, and aging of cigars. They create the proper humidity level to preserve the flavor of your cigars and protect them from harmful conditions like the proliferation of pests. They also provide an attractive and elegant showcase for your prized cigars. A quality humidor will range from 60-75 percent humidity and use Spanish cedar shelves, which holds in more moisture than other woods.
Whynter humidors contain removable drawers made of Spanish cedar, flat shelves, and range 62 to 75 percent humidity (may vary slightly depending on the model). They offer many features not found in humidors from other brands.
Each Whynter cigar humidor uses a thermoelectric cooling system. This prevents the drying effect caused by compressor-based cooling systems, and also works as pest control, while the thermoelectric system keeps the humidor running quietly. HomElectrical sells 1.2 and 4.2 cu. ft. capacity humidors. The 1.2 cu. ft. capacity models hold up to 250 cigars, while the 4.2 cu. ft. models holds up to 400 cigars.
Each 1.2 cu. ft. humidor contains a humidification tray and comes equipped with an elegant analog hygrometer to monitor the desired level of humidity. They also contain a thermostat, which users can adjust from 50-66 degrees Fahrenheit. The 4.2 model includes a digital hygrometer and ranges from 64-72 degrees Fahrenheit, and it also includes a lock and key.
All models come with an enhanced LCD temperature display and interior LED lighting with an on/off switch. Each model also emits a light, complementary aroma. All contain a black or stainless steel cabinet with a stainless steel-trimmed glass door.
When choosing what humidor to get, consider how many cigars you wish to store. Next, consider the décor of the room. Whynter offers different trim options so that you can match the décor already in your room. You also want to keep in mind the value of the cigars. If you wish to store a pricey collection, buy an option with a lock and key.
