Aging your cigar with a Cigar Star humidor

A premium cigar, by definition, is handmade and in most cases, constructed with long-filler tobacco. It is 100% pure tobacco leaves throughout its construction. Unlike cigarettes or machine made cigars, they have no chemicals that are added that will keep them from drying out. Therefore, they must be stored at the correct humidity level to preserve its moisture content, or they will dry out and crumble.
 
The cigars must be kept at 64-72% humidity level  and 60-70 degrees temperature to prevent them from drying out. This is best achieved by keeping them in a cigar humidor. The humidor should have a Spanish cedar lining, to enhance the aroma and promote the aging of the cigar. If you are on a budget, there are cigar jars, made of glass, that will do an adequate job. If you are really in a pinch you can use Tupperware, or a similar style food storage container. All of these storage devices must have a humidification element that releases moisture into the storage chamber.     
Our Humidors will perfectly replicate the tropical paradise in which most exquisite cigars are grown, fermented and rolled. Cigar’s are like fine wine. When stored properly they will only get better with age.
 


What are characteristics of a good cigar humidor?

There are several key points that all good humidors share. It is important that you chose the right one in order to protect your precious and delicate cigars.
First, is the interior lining of your cigar humidor. It should be made of Kiln dried Spanish cedar. A very small percentage of humidors on the market use a mahogany interior as an acceptable alternative. Here at Cigar Star we ONLY Use the highest quality kiln dried Spanish cedar.

The next important feature to look for is the seal between the lid and the rim of the cigar humidor. It should be a tight seal, but it can not be purely airtight. Lids that are very heavy, relative to the rest of the box, help to promote a sufficient seal. An indicator of a good seal is when the lid is closed you should feel / hear a small whoosh.
ALL Cigar Star humidors are tested for perfect seals prior to leaving the factory, this way when you receive a Cigar Star humidor it will have a perfect seal every time! OR YOUR MONEY BACK!
Another critical element to look at is the hinges on the lid. They must be heavy duty, and be secured with good anchoring. Often, as described earlier, the lids should be very heavy, and the hinging must be sturdy enough to support the stress that a heavy lid will put on them.
Cigar Star humidors come with solid hidden quadrant gold and now silver hinges.

Often, people will say that the most critical part of a humidor is the humidification element. However, I disagree. It is actually the only component than can actually be replaced, therefore, it is more important to have good seals and hinges,  without them, even the best humidification element will not keep the cigars in peak condition. These key features are what make a humidor.
All Cigar Star humidor come with crystal humidifiers as standard components.

QUALITY IS NOT AN OPTION IT IS STANDARD WITH CIGAR STAR CIGAR HUMIDORS, CUTTERS, CASES AND ALL ACCESSORIES.

Cigar Star review Heritage Humidor

This year we did a classic robust look with this cigar humidor, made with outstanding hand picked Walnut Burl with Spanish cedar inside. Cigar Star when quality matters!



The Heritage cigar humidor honors the classic look with a twist, as we hand picked the Amazing Walnut burl wood, which makes all these humidors a one of a kind!
We went a little overboard on this humidor adding an upgraded humidifier, dome shaped lid to add to its elegant, Spanish cedar air flow rack on the bottom of the humidor, & our new signature casted keyhole brass lock.

The inside of the humidor is fully lined with kiln dried Spanish cedar. Has hygrometer and humidifier. It will store up to 60 cigars.

*********100% hand crafted*********

Aged Or Mouldy cigars?


This box of cigars has been sitting in a Cigar Star Humidor since 2010. My question to you is what do we do with this box of Montecristo Open Eagles?

1. Scream mould and toss them?

2. Tell some story about this being some sort of good thing that shows that the cigars are... aging perfectly?

3. Leave them alone and fire up when ready?




This is a severe case of plume. Bloom or Plume (same meaning) is a cigar term that describes crystallization due to the rising of tobacco oils from within the cigar to the surface. The air will then dry the excretion creating the crystallized or dusty appearance. Bloom / Plume can appear slightly different on various cigars because every manufacturer will use a different wrapper leaf, filler, curing process.
This is why we place our focus on quality on every humidor we make. Cigar Star humidor will age your cigars perfectly for years.

CAO italia

Took the dogs to the park while I had the pleasure of smoking this cigar.....It has BITE! Frist 1/3 was thick tasted like chewing tobacco.....2nd 1/3 of the cigar became much better, light notes of nut and leather. Much better after the half way mark, as when I came to the final 1/3 of the cigar it was creamy and with so many tastes, like coffee, creamy leather otes that were pleasent and very enjoyable!

Cohiba Siglo 1 paired with a Barking SQUIRREL?

Well us up here in Canada look forward to the warmer weather to get outside and do the things we enjoy.
 The other day I thought it was a nice time to sit down, relax and enjoy a fine stogie.

I went to my Denine Cigar Star humidor and pulled out a 3 year old Cohiba Siglo 1 and a new comer of brew called the Barking Squirrel "ITS A CANADIAN BREWER". This beer has won International awards and I can tell you that it deserved it, not only that but pairing it with the Cohiba Siglo1 was Divine.
 
Get ready for a wonderful Spring and Summer my friends.

New End Table Cigar humidors

Over the years we have had requests for larger cigar humidors. Today We have built our first end table 600 Cigar total cigar humidor. Made using Bubinga wood on the outside with the highest quality Spanish cedar on the inside.  We just finished our first one and I must admit that the quality of this unit is simply amazing!  20 coats of lacquer, bevelled glass top to showcase your cigars, and a lower compartment also sporting a bevelled glass window.

We will be placing a Cigar Oasis XL unit with each of these humidors along with 4 crystal humidifiers to keep your cigars fresh as the day you placed them in.

We have yet to name this humidor, and are asking for your help to do so. Just give us your name selection and if you win we will give you a starter set cigar humidor if we choose the name you summit.

Season your cigar humidor in Spring?

Having trouble keeping up the humidity level in your cigar humidor? Cigars should be stored at room temperature (about 70F degrees) with a humidity level of 65 to 72 percent.


  Sometimes, it is difficult to maintain a constant level of humidity inside your cigar humidor, especially when seasons change. Here in Ontario Canada the humidity level inside your house, as well as other conditions, will affect the performance and operation of your humidor's humidification system.

If you are using your standard sponge humidifier, we suggest that you change that out with the upgraded crystals also known as humidity beads. They are far superior for your humidor and at a cost of only $5 for a bag http://cigarstar.ca/cigar-accessories.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=vmj_genx.tpl&product_id=104&category_id=10

These crystals will help maintain your desired humidity level inside your cigar humidor. They will also take the guess work out of when you should re-charge your humidifier as when they dry up they become hard and you know it time. Check out the video below.
