Cigar storage can be a tricky business. It's usually easy as enjoying a Casa Magna but various factors can present serious challenges to any humidor. If you reside where the weather is cold and dry, you might end up fighting to keep that air moisture reading at 70%. If you happen to live in an area that is warm and humid all of the time, maintaining humidity in your cigar storage area won't be the problem. Instead, you will be doing your best to keep your precious smokes from soaking up water from the air. However, even if you don't live in a place that experiences either extreme, maintaining the right amount of moisture can still be problematic.

To maintain the correct amount of humidity for storing cigars, you have to first and foremost have a precise reading of the moisture within your cigar storage device. You will get the most accurate measurements from digital humidifiers and this is why those devices are a must for every aficionado. Use a digital humidifier in your cigar storage area and you will know what the moisture content is at a glance. Set the device to 70% and it should do a good job at keeping your cigars at 70% humidity no matter where you live.
