The Essence of Spanish Cedar in Cigar Storage
For the true cigar enthusiast, the perfect preservation of his collection is an art in itself. Spanish cedar plays a crucial role in this. It is the ideal material for cigar storage, thanks to its unique properties that optimally preserve the quality of cigars. The unique properties of this particular wood contribute significantly to maintaining the integrity, aroma and taste of your precious smokes. Spanish cedar has an indispensable important function and we provide you with tools to assess its quality.
The usefulness of genuine Spanish cedar in a cigar store
Humidity regulation: One of the main advantages of Spanish cedar is its exceptional ability to regulate humidity. The wood can absorb remarkable amounts of moisture and gradually release it, maintaining a stable and ideal humidity level within the cigar box. Why is constant humidity so crucial for cigar preservation? It prevents both dehydration and the development of mold, two factors that can seriously affect the quality of the cigar.
Natural aromas: the wood is known for its pleasant and subtle fragrance. These inherent aromas are not only pleasant, but they also interact positively with the cigars, resulting in a refinement and enrichment of their flavor profile. How does the natural fragrance of Spanish cedar contribute to the quality of cigars? The essential oils in the wood have a beneficial effect on the tobacco.
Repellent properties: The natural oils present in Spanish cedar also possess repellent qualities against certain harmful insects, including the dreaded tobacco beetle. This contributes to a safe environment for your cigar storage.
Canadian cedar as an alternative
Although there is an alternative, Canadian cedar, this type of wood does not offer the same benefits. Canadian cedar gives off too little scent, while fake Spanish cedar lacks the natural properties and scent of the real product. Spanish cedar is superior because of its unique combination of moisture control, odor and durability. Thus, it prevents dehydration, as well as mold. So be careful when buying a humidor that you choose quality.
How do you choose the right cigar storage?
When purchasing a cigar store, it is important to pay attention to appearance and the quality of the Spanish cedar wood. Check that the wood comes from a reliable source and pay attention to the smell and texture. It is best to smell the cedar plank up close. In the case of a Raching humidor in our showroom, you will immediately smell that these electric cigar cabinet cabinets are manufactured with real Spanish cedar. A good cigar storage unit is solidly built and has a tightly closing door or lid. Choose a size that fits your collection and pay attention to the finish. More tips can be found in our “Ultimate guide to choosing the perfect electric humidor for storing for your cigars”.
