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.
