ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

Before using your cigar humidor, complete the following steps:

  • Remove all exterior and interior packaging
  • Make sure the following parts are included:
    • 3 wood shelves
    • 2 keys
    • 1 moisture container
    • 1 instruction manual

Before operating your cigar humidor for the first time, follow these steps:

  1. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
  2. Place your appliance on a flat surface strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded. To level your humidor, adjust the front legs at the bottom of the appliance.
  3. Ensure the cabinet is located away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (i.e.: stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect its acrylic coating. Extreme cold or hot ambient room temperatures may also cause the appliance to not perform properly and/or increase electrical consumption.
  4. The appliance is intended for indoor use only.

CAUTION: Please keep the cabinet away from combustible materials or substances.

FACTORY ODOR REMOVALWash the interior of the humidor with a mild detergent and warm water. Make sure to not get the wood wet. Leave the door open and allow it to air dry thoroughly. If a “plastic” smell persists, place a dish of baking soda in the unit or stuff the humidor with newspapers overnight. When finished, let the unit run a full day to complete the airing out process.

DRAWER SET-UPThe drawers and shelves included with this humidor are designed to sit flush with the front edge of the cabinet. This will allow air to circulate freely through the unit. When inserting the drawers and shelves, avoid pushing them all the way against the rear wall of the cabinet.

SEASONING YOUR CIGAR HUMIDORIt is best to season your wood shelves and drawers before adding your cigars so that the wood is at an ideal RH and does not absorb humidity from your cigars. To season your new cigar humidor:

  1. Add distilled water to the included moisture container or add a sponge that is damp with distilled water. Make sure that the water is not touching the wood directly or this may damage the wood.
  2. Allow the moisture container, or other humidity-adding device, to sit in the humidor until it reaches a relative humidity of 5% higher than your preferred level. This process may take as long as 3 days but is the best way to ensure your cigars stay optimal.
  3. Once the humidor reaches this mark, you can begin to add cigars. You may add a few at a time in order to monitor the RH and make sure it stays at a level you want it at. If it drops too much, you can use the same seasoning method to bring it back up.

NOTE: During this entire process, it is recommended to not open the door unnecessarily, as this lets moisture escape and can delay the process.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

It is recommended that you setup the cigar cabinet in a place where the ambient temperature is between 50 – 77°F. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause the interior temperature to fluctuate or not reach the appliance’s range.The temperature may fluctuate depending on whether the interior light is on or off or how cigars are placed on the upper, middle, or lower section.

HOW TO SET TEMPERATURE:There are four touch-buttons on the control panel:

Increases or decreases the set temperature by 1 degree (temp range is 52 – 74°F).Button turns on or off the interior light.Selects temperature display setting Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Note: This product is designed to operate in rooms with an ambient temperature range of 50 – 77°F.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

CLEANING YOUR CIGAR CABINETTo clean your cigar cabinet:

  • Unplug the cigar humidor and remove its contents and trays.
  • Clean the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution, about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
  • The outside of the cigar humidor should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
  • Take out the water reservoir and clean with warm water.

TRANSPORTING THE CABINET

  • Remove all contents and sliding shelves.

CIGAR STORAGE GUIDE

  • The ideal temperature for storing cigars is between 65° and 73°F.
  • The ideal relative humidity (RH) for storing cigars is between 65% and 75% RH. To properly maintain RH in this unit, you will need to include a method of adding humidity. For your convenience, a moisture container is included.
  • To add humidity to the unit using the included moisture container, simply fill the container with distilled water or a damp sponge wet with distilled water and place it back in the unit. Please note this water should be changed after reaching the desired humidity and refilled when used again.
  • Keep cigars out of direct sunlight to avoid exposure to damaging UV rays.
  • It is recommended to keep cigars in their original boxes and packaging as long as possible. Keep unwrapped cigars separate in your humidor to avoid unwanted mingling of flavors.
  • Check cigars regularly for signs of tobacco beetles and mold, and take preventative measures if necessary.
  • Properly stored cigars can improve with age for as long as 5-10 years, and can be kept even longer in ideal conditions.
