Quality Cigar Experts

I understand why some people are looking for the cheapest option to store their cigars, going with plastic humidors or trying to use Tupperware to create something capable of cigar storage on their own. It doesn't take much research on the Internet to find homemade remedies that the advocates swear can do the job as well as anything commercially available. Particularly for casual smokers this can seem like a fine option, especially if money is tight around the holidays and they don't smoke cigars enough to consider other storage solutions.

But while I am rarely judgmental, I have to say that those people are flat-out wrong.

The problem is that premium cigars become worthless if they aren't stores properly. It doesn't make any sense to me that someone would choose to spend the money on something that is truly exceptional, and then try to avoid the moderate expense of a cigar humidor to store them in. As my grandmother would say, that's penny-wise and pound foolish.

So if you are a new or infrequent cigar smoker, my biggest piece of advice is to invest in a cigar humidor. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money, it is easy to maintain, and it will help keep those prized cigars fresh until you are ready to smoke. Is that something you really want to trust to a homemade concoction with blueprints from some random website?
