The cigar accessories you need depends on your preference as well as your cigar-smoking experience. But, the ones described below are the most significant accessories for every cigar enthusiast.
Humidors
A humidor helps retain your cigar’s flavour and strength at an optimum temperature of 210 c with near 70% humidity. Humidors are designed to mimic the specific climate of Cuba, which is sub-tropical with calm trade winds. With a humidor, you preserve the original flavour and aroma of the cigar and prolong the quality over time.
There are various humidors to choose from on the market and your choice depends on the number of cigars you have. A large humidor is perfect for storing your cigars at home, accommodating a significant number of cigars at a time. Small ones are perfect for preserving your cigar’s quality while on the go or travelling.
Hygrometer
A hygrometer is used to measure the humidity levels of cigars in a humidor; an essential parameter to retaining the quality. There are many different hygrometers on the market with the most common ones being digital hygrometers. These are easy to use and allow you to monitor humidity up close.
Cigar lighter
You need your cigar to light first; therefore, investing in a high-quality cigar lighter is essential. Cigar lighters make it easy to start your cigar eliminating the hassle of using matches that would impede the cigar quality.
Cigar lighters come in different sizes to match the different cigar-smoking needs. Large ring cigars such as 60 ring and above require a multi-flame lighter with three jets. Small ring cigars are an ideal match for single jet cigar lighters. Whatever lighter cigar you choose, ensure it functions optimally.
Cigar cutters
A cigar cutter is specially designed to ensure a clean cut of your cigar. Cigar cutters are available in various sizes to suit different sizes and specifications of cigar. If you enjoy smoking cigars regularly, a cigar cutter is a must-have accessory.
Ashtrays
An ashtray is more than just a place to discard cigar butts and can be decorative. A crystal or glass ashtray is a classic choice, whereas steel and metal add a modern touch. You could choose a foldable or portable ashtray which are ideal for smoking cigars on the move or while you are travelling.
Cigar Cases
A cigar case ensures they can “breathe” in optimum humid conditions. Single cigar cases, also called cigar tubes, are perfect for keeping one cigar in your bag or pocket. Hence, they differ in size, from one that holds 2-3 cigars to a larger one that holds up to 5 cigars.
These fashionable cigar accessories are a must-have for every cigar enthusiast. There are many styles to choose from on the market; you can definitely find something to suit your preference.
