Cigar aficionados understand the importance of keeping cigars in a quality cigar humidor. In order to ensure that your cigars are protected from drying out or becoming too moist, choose a humidor that is capable of maintaining an appropriate level of humidity. This will also guarantee that your cigars age properly. In order for your humidor to work at optimum capacity, you might consider using an electronic cigar humidifier. 

As the name suggests, electronic humidifiers are electronic devices that work to maintain consistent levels of humidity in your cigar storage unit. They come in different sizes that are suited to a variety of humidors. Electronic humidifiers utilise either water cartridges or reservoirs.  The size of the humidifier you purchase should be in relation to the size of your humidor. For instance, avoid buying a humidifier that is too small as it will not be able to meet the humidity demands of your humidor. In this case, you will end up with dry cigars.  At the same time, a humidifier that is too large is likely to add too much moisture to the air. In this case, you will not only be spending more than necessary, you may end up with cigars that retain too much moisture. 

Finding the correct size humidifier is easy with newer models, which include a capacity rating that describes the amount of space available within the unit. This rating can also be used to determine what size humidifier will work best. All of these aspects must be considered for a properly working electronic humidifier. There are additional features that you will need to consider when purchasing your humidifier. A hygrometer is necessary for monitoring the level of humidity within your unit. Without it, you will have to devise your own way of measuring these levels, which must be maintained for proper storage.
