Quality criteria of humidors

Recently, the average prices for humidors have dropped significantly. Many buyers are confused when faced with nearly identical humidors ranging in price from $60 to $1000. Do such differences in quality exist that would justify these price variations?
First of all, what functional characteristics does a humidor need to fulfill. Basically humidors must be able to maintain a constant relative interior humidity.
In addition, the following conditions must be fulfilled:

• The interior wood must be able to absorb humidity well, which should be ensured by using a Spanish cedar lining.
• The humidifier should provide sufficient humidity to maintain a humidity level of approximately 70%.
• The hinges should be durable and ensure a low-friction functioning for many years. In quality humidors only quadrant hinges should be used.
• The humidor case should be well sealed and close tightly (not necessarily hermetically) so that no humidity may escape from the humidor. Then the humidification system will not require constant refilling.
• The basic construction of the humidor should ensure that high humidity inside the humidor will not result in deformations of the humidor case or lid and that the humidors will still close neatly after years of usage.

Everyone should make sure that these basic functional conditions are fulfilled when buying a new humidor. One should close attention to special offers from non-specialized stores. The making of a high-quality adorini humidor involves hours of manual labor. For high-gloss lacquers up to 20 different layers of lacquer have to be applied and ultimately polished by hand. Adorini guarantees that all of the aforementioned functional conditions are fulfilled and that cigars are stored in an adorini humidor at least as well as in the much more expensive humidors in the highest price category.

Apart from functionality aesthetic aspects are also of importance. The humidor is a piece of furniture and an important part of smoking culture. Offering precious cigars from a beautifully constructed humidor increases the pleasure of smoking.
The adorini humidor range demonstrates that humidors of excellent quality and attractive design do not have to cost as high as $1000 (See www.humidordiscount.com ).
