Cigar Oasis (brand)
An electronic fan humidifier that keeps large volumes at target humidity on its own.
Not for: Small desktop humidors, which it would overpower.
What the AI looks for in Cigar Humidor Humidifiers
- Humidity setting
- Pick a fixed point between 62% and 72%; 69% is the common default, and lower points suit those who prefer a firmer burn. Your preferred burn and draw determine the setting.
- Capacity
- Size the packs or unit to the humidor's volume as the maker specifies, not to the number of cigars alone. Too little humidification can't keep up with wood absorption and air leakage.
- Water type
- Use only distilled water or propylene glycol solution, or packs that need neither. Tap water leaves minerals and can encourage mold.
Brands that matter
- Boveda: Two-way packs in several humidity points, plus higher-humidity packs for seasoning.
- Cigar Oasis: Electronic humidifiers for larger storage.
- Xikar: Crystal-gel and bead humidifiers.
What to avoid
- Green floral-foam disc humidifiers bundled with cheap humidors.
- Packs that have gone hard, because they are spent and should be replaced.
Questions
Do I need to season a new wooden humidor?
Yes. Bring the Spanish cedar up to humidity before adding cigars, or the wood will pull moisture from them.
