Glass Lidded Humidor Or Wooden Lidded Humidor?

Glass Lidded Humidor Or Wooden Lidded Humidor

For the cigars that will be consumed within a few months, humidors with glass or wooden lid work just as well. However, if the cigars are going to be stored in a humidor for more than a few years, a humidor with a wooden lid is definitely the first choice. When using a humidor with a glass lid, avoid exposing the humidor to direct sunlight. Prolonged storage may cause discoloration of the first few rows of cigars.

On the other hand, glass lidded humidors have an advantage over wooden lidded humidors. They are opened less frequently and for a shorter period of time. Therefore, a more constant internal humidity can be maintained. This is especially useful for humidors in restaurants, clubs and hotels.

Glass doors on cabinet humidors do not have any negative impact on cigar storage as long as the cigars are stored in their original boxes. Regarding the placement of cabinet humidors, the glass doors should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
