Optimal Environmental Conditions For Cigars!

This blog will give you some information about commercial humidors. Humidors in general are similar to wine cellars. They provide a controlled space where humidity and temperature are regulated to most perfectly suit the cigars (or the wine, in the wine cellars case). The cigars are maintained as fresh in these most optimal environmental conditions.

What’s the difference between a commercial humidor and a personal humidor, though? Personal humidors can be very small, just a little box that you fit in a few good cigars. But a commercial humidor will be much bigger in size, naturally, so that it can hold many more cigars which will be sold in a store—a commercial venture. You can get commercial humidors on the smaller side, where they’re just like a small china cabinet with different layers and a glass outside, for viewing. Or you can purchase them has huge rooms that will house and store different cigars for sale. The pricing runs proportionately to the size and structure.

A good humidor will be made from wood, and will be polished, sturdy, and the controls easy to handle. You’ll want to make sure that these features are true for the piece. With careful attention to the construction of your humidors, you’ll be able to make sure that it holds everything airtight and controls the humidity expertly. Just a small leak in the air will cause the cigars to spoil much faster than if everything were properly and well-constructed.

Maintain Your Wood Board With Vigor and Freshness!

Some people think that all you have to do to a cutting boards is use it and rinse it off. There are other considerations, however, for taking the cutting board to the next level and really caring for it. You can oil it, clean it with a peroxide solution that will keep it sanitized but not ruined, and you can also prevent it from warping. This blog will tell you about some of these factors related to the mighty cutting board.  

What causes your board to warp? Moisture is the main reason. But why would your board get too much moisture in it? Because you didn’t adequately let it dry, and you didn’t oil it well to prevent the pores from soaking up excess moisture. When only one side of the cutting board is used, too, this causes warping. Moisture will collect mostly on that side where you use it most, and then the fibers of the wood will expand and spread out, as opposed to the other side, which is still pretty tight and unused. All you have to do is use both sides of the board equally!  


 


A convenient way to remove stains and odors, too, is by using simple table salt. You simply rub the salt over the cutting board and then rub a lemon over it. Rinse it off well with hot water. You can also use baking soda for odor removal, especially with onion, garlic, and other strongly scented foods. There are these issues and more that can help you really maintain your wooden cutting board with vigor and freshness!

This blog will describe some of the benefits and offerings of a custom wood-working company as opposed to a big business. If you want something customized and unique, you’ll clearly want to choose the wood-working company. The cutting board in an industrial area will be a plastic, plain thing most likely, one that you didn’t choose and didn’t have a say in how it looked. But, most likely, you can get a wooden customized cutting boards from a place that serves its customers one by one and makes them just what they order. You can learn about oiling cutting boards and caring for them, too, from these smaller wood companies, because the employees have the time and the mind to come out and help you purchase what you need, and then further helps you care for it. 

Smaller wood working companies care, when it comes down to it, and they’ll usually take great pride in your design. They work one piece by piece, never making a whole production line of goods.

A commercial or personal humidor can be something of a larger gift, personalized to fit the style of the recipient.

Cigar humidors are not the most common thing out there, but Carolina Wood Designs carries some of the best. We are woodworkers who custom-design your humidor to suit your tastes perfectly.

This blog will tell you a little about humidors, and the levels of humidity you’ll probably want inside of them. The nature of wood is to change and adapt to different temperatures, so that’s something to keep in mind for both humidors and for cutting boards! So, the basic percentage of humidity to “dry” air in a basic humidor is about 68-74% to 32-26%. People believe that the cigar flavors “evolve” at that temperature and humidity level, and this level supports an even burning of the cigar. Say at 70% humidity with a 64 degree Fahrenheit, the air will contain approximately 10 grams of water per cubic meter of air.




In such an environment, the cigar should absorb the ideal amount of that humidity, which is about 14% of its weight. Hopefully this blog will help you be mindful of the optimal humidity levels you’ll want to create in your custom, best made humidor from Carolina Wood Designs.

If you are able to keep your cigars fresh, you’ll be more inclined to enjoy them and share them with friends, over coffee, over a drink. If you think that cigars don’t taste good, it may even be simply because you have less than the best cigar humidifier.
