Seasonal Adjustments for Your Humidor
Seasonal changes affect room temperature and humidity, which can impact your cigars. Making small adjustments ensures stable conditions year-round.
-
Winter Care
Heating can dry out your humidor. Add extra humidity packs or slightly increase your digital humidifier settings to maintain 62–74% RH.
-
Summer Care
High temperatures and humidity can encourage mold. Keep your humidor in a cool, shaded spot and monitor closely for spikes above 22°C.
-
Monitor Daily
During transitional seasons, check hygrometers more frequently. Rapid changes in outdoor conditions can affect internal humidity.
-
Adjust Humidifier Placement
Move devices slightly depending on seasonal airflow patterns inside the cabinet to ensure even distribution.
-
Use Seasonal Labels
Keep track of cigars more sensitive to humidity by labeling or storing them in a slightly more controlled section during extreme weather.
Final Thoughts
Seasonal awareness keeps your cigars in peak condition. Regular monitoring, small adjustments, and strategic placement of humidifiers ensure stable storage all year long.
