First-class workmanship: The ideal humidor with cedar wood

Humidor with cedar wood

Cedar wood has a long tradition in cigar storage. The precious wood owes its popularity for cigar storage to its special properties: It not only absorbs moisture well and keeps pests away, it also promotes the maturation and flavor development of the cigars. At REPOSÓN we have found a humidor solution that combines cedar wood with a modern, minimalist exterior: The Vista 50, with its body made of premium acrylic and a humidor insert made of fine cedar wood, creates the perfect combination of design and function. Manufactured using traditional craftsmanship, REPOSÓN's own development impresses with first-class workmanship, functionality and quality.

The humidor with cedar wood and humidity regulation

Cigars are not always intended for immediate enjoyment after purchase. For true aficionados, proper storage plays a crucial role, as cigars are very sensitive to their storage conditions. In addition to the ideal temperature of between 20 and 21 degrees Celsius, the humidity level of the air is of central importance. A constant relative humidity of 70 to 72 percent is essential for maintaining the quality of the cigars. Only by adhering to these specific conditions can it be guaranteed that the cigars will burn cleanly and thus be fully enjoyed. Carefully monitoring and regulating these environmental conditions prevents the cigars from drying out or becoming oversaturated, both of which would lead to an unsatisfactory smoking experience. This preserves the aroma of the cigars and may even develop further, which can lead to a richer and more intense taste experience, especially when stored for longer periods.

In a humidor, the correct humidity is created using a humidification system and, if necessary, controlled with a hygrometer. In the Vista 50 model made of cedar wood, this function is performed by innovative humidification packs. These 2-way humidity control packs are able to actively release or absorb moisture, depending on what the ambient conditions require. This always ensures a constant humidity level of 72 percent. A hygrometer is therefore optional on the Vista 50.

In addition to this self-regulating humidification system, the Vista-50 humidor with a cedar wood insert ensures ideal humidity conditions, as the precious wood has an excellent ability to absorb and bind moisture: it stores it and releases it again when the ambient air is dry. A cedar wood lining therefore supports the humidity regulation in the humidor.

The importance of cedar wood in the humidor for aroma development

When storing cigars, it is not only about maintaining quality, but also about maturing and developing the taste. Real aficionados even deliberately rely on a certain maturing time to give the cigars the opportunity to develop their full aroma. To promote this process, humidors are preferably lined with cedar wood on the inside. This is because the precious wood has a unique smell of its own that has a positive effect on the taste development of the cigars. In a humidor with a cedar wood insert, cigars take on the aroma of the precious wood and develop a very special character. The Vista 50 therefore ensures that the cigars develop their aroma perfectly during storage.

Another advantage of the special cedar scent is its protective effect against pests: many insects and other unwelcome visitors do not like the smell and therefore stay away. For this reason, a humidor with cedar wood insert offers a certain degree of protection against mites and tobacco beetles in addition to the advantages already mentioned.

Cedar wood not only serves to regulate the internal climate of a humidor and impart additional aroma to the cigars, it also offers effective protection against pests. A humidor with cedar wood insert combines aesthetic qualities with functional advantages and creates a safe and aromatically enriching environment for storing cigars, making it an excellent choice for any true cigar lover.
