Custom Designed Humidors!

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. We can do the same with our wooden cutting boards—another type of wooden product that many people forget about, forget how useful and fine they can be in a home. With proper oiling of your cutting board and other wood materials, you can preserve these pieces so that they are handed down as a family heirloom, known for their uniqueness and symbolism for your family.

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.
