When humidors where first created by Zino Davidoff in the
early 20th century, they were large cellar humidors which certainly made for
restricted travel. One now had the ability to strive for the perfect cigar, but
only from home. Most people would agree that the feasibility of traveling with a
large room did not exist, and still does not, even today. A dilemma arose as to
how to preserve a moist cigar while traveling.
Early models of travel
humidors were patterned after air-tight cases in which the cigar aficionado
placed cigars already maintained in a cellar humidor. This worked well except
that when one opened the travel humidor, since the maintained humidity existed
as a result of already moist cigars, each time the humidor was opened, humidity
would escape and the ambient humidity of the room replaced the humidity that had
been inside the travel humidor.
Today humidors can be found that are
battery-powered or can be plugged into any available AC outlet or a combination
of both. While these types of humidors are more functional than ostentatious,
they can be made of any materials in varying shapes and designs, suited to
please the taste of even the most discriminating smoker.
Most travel
humidors are made of extremely durable plastic, designed to withstand the rigors
of being moved about and for its lightweight portability.
Travel humidors
now meant that a society that is becoming increasingly more mobile as a result
of the prevalence of automobiles and air is no longer demanded to choose between
having a perfect cigar and being tied to home or having to leave behind one’s
favorite pastime to travel.
Travel humidors are also an inexpensive
addition with many functional travel humidors costing less than $30. The
internet is an excellent way to research the different styles and brands while
also finding the least expensive style that will meet ones requirements. Humidors provides detailed information on
cigar humidors, travel humidors, and humidor plans. Humidors is the sister site
of Cigars Web.
