Nice tobacconists have nice humidors. No clutter, great outlook, reputed manufacturer – these are the features of any good humidor. Cuban cigars improve with time, sometimes up to 15 years, so they should be kept properly. If not, they may become harsh and unpleasant to smoke. Havanas are usually stored at between 16°C and 18°C, at a relative humidity of between 65 and 70%. Note that the last aspect is the most important one.
