Understanding Humidity and Temperature Variations in Your Cigar Cabinet

For many cigar enthusiasts, maintaining the perfect environment is essential to preserving the flavor, aroma, and quality of their collection. Occasionally, collectors notice small discrepancies between the displayed temperature or humidity readings and their expectations. It’s important to understand: this is usually not a problem with the cigar cabinet itself.

Why Temperature and Humidity Readings Can Vary

Even the most advanced cigar cabinets, like those from Afidano, rely on sensors to measure and regulate the internal environment. Small variations can occur due to:

1. Single Sensor Measurement

   • Most cabinets have one central sensor. The reading represents the environment around that sensor, not every corner of the cabinet. Different areas may be slightly warmer, cooler, drier, or more humid.

2. Environmental Influence

   • Room temperature, sunlight exposure, and seasonal changes can affect readings temporarily. Cabinets will adjust over time, but fluctuations are natural.

3. Cigar Placement

   • Large or tightly packed collections can slightly obstruct airflow, causing local variations in humidity. Rotating cigars occasionally helps balance conditions throughout the cabinet.

How to Minimize Variations

While minor differences are normal, there are practical steps to keep your cigars in optimal condition:

• Placement Matters: Keep the cabinet away from direct sunlight, heaters, or air conditioners.

• Allow Adjustment Time: After adjusting settings or moving the cabinet, give it a few hours to stabilize.

• Rotate Your Collection: Moving cigars between shelves helps ensure even humidity distribution.

• Use Quality Accessories: A humidification device or water tray can help fine-tune internal moisture.

• Check for Larger Variations: If you notice a humidity or temperature difference exceeding 3%, contact our customer support for guidance on proper adjustment.

Afidano’s Reliability

Afidano cigar cabinets are designed with high-precision control systems. Minor variations in readings do not indicate a defect—they are a natural part of maintaining a living collection. The cabinet continuously adjusts, protecting your cigars while providing peace of mind.

If you notice slight differences in humidity or temperature, rest assured: your Afidano cigar cabinet is functioning correctly. By understanding how sensors work and applying simple rotation and placement habits, you can maintain an ideal environment for your collection. After all, enjoying cigars is as much about care and patience as it is about flavor.
