The Best Cigar Humidors – Our Top Picks

When choosing a new humidor to store your cigars, you’ve got to look not only at appearance and size but also the seal and the materials used.

For example, a great desktop humidor should be made with a Spanish cedar lining at the very least. The fit of the lid of the humidor should be very precise in order to keep the humidity inside within that magical 68-72% mark.

There are tons of great humidors on the market today but only a select few could be considered the best. Our experts researched and reviewed some of the best cigar humidors on the market below in this post.

Whynter CHC-120S Stainless Steel Cigar Cooler Humidor

If you are looking for a better way to store a lot of cigars in a climate-controlled environment, then this humidor from Whynter might be right up your alley.

The solid state cooling means no vibrations or odd sounds, and it’s big enough to store several boxes at the perfect temperature and humidity. The glass door on the front allows you to see what the humidity is inside, while a digital read-out relays the temperature. Keep those stogies cool, while keeping them at the perfect humidity level to ensure your cigars are always ready to smoke.

It’s a bulky solution, so if you don’t have the space for it you may want to go with something smaller. For the price, it’s hard to beat if you love smoking cigars at home.

AMANCY Cedar Wood Lined Portable Travel Leather Cigar Humidor

When it comes to portability, it doesn’t get much smaller than this. The Amancy travel humidor is light and super compact, about the size of a coffee cup.

It will easily house four or five of your favorite cigars, limiting you with capacity depending on the point size, and a maximum length of around seven inches. For most cigars, this won’t be a problem, unless you are trying to store some 18-hole smokers for you and your buddies at the golf course.

Size restrictions are a problem for some smokers, and the tiny capacity might prove slightly troublesome for finding the right humidity setting, but this is a fine solution for a smoker on the go, and it will keep your cigars fresh on a long flight so that you can celebrate after the plane touches down.

This is a great travel humidor that will keep your cigars fresh and ready to smoke anytime, whether that’s at the golf course or the end of your trip. For under $30, this thing is an absolute steal.

Quality Importers Desktop Humidor

Glass-topped humidors are always a nice addition to the study or office. The mahogany finish looks sharp in nearly any setting. Viewed from the side, it’s a very sharp looking box, and between the cedar lining and adequate capacity, it will furnish up your smoking area very well.

From the top, you can easily keep track of the internal temperature by tossing a thermometer inside, to make certain that your cigars will be fresh and delightful without the need to open the case.

If the standard model isn’t to your liking, they also have larger models and different wood finishes available, if you’re willing to shell out some extra cash.

This particular desktop cigar humidor would make a great gift for yourself or the cigar smoker in your life.

The Chalet Glass Top Cigar Humidor

If you are looking for a very sharp dark walnut color with superb brass accents, this could be your cigar box. It has a glass top and an excellent humidity meter on the front of the box, and will hold 25-50 cigars, depending on the make.

There have been some complaints that the meter is not readily adjustable, so there might be some lemons out there. Also, the crystal pack that comes with it is slightly undersized for the box, and you might consider picking up a larger gel pack if you live in a drier area. Despite any faults, this humidor is a nice, handy solution for most smokers, and it will look great in your office.

For the price that it’s at on Amazon right now, it’s definitely worth your consideration.

La Cubana Genuine Leather Cigar Humidor

This is a very handsome cigar humidor, though it is on the small side, so don’t expect to stuff thirty Churchills inside, but for a box this nice that will fit comfortably in a desk drawer, I consider it a bargain.

The exterior is wrapped in quality leather, and if you aren’t expecting to dump a whole box of large cigars inside, it should work just fine for the occasional smoker, or perhaps as a box for a small number of favorites that you want to keep close in an office or study, or even your desk at work.

When opened, it looks like something from the future. Modern styling inside with a very classic look outside. What more could a guy want? Oh yeah, a great price too.
