When humidors where first created by Zino
Davidoff in the early 20th century, they were large cellar humidors
which certainly made for restricted travel. One now had the ability
to strive for the perfect cigar, but only from home. Most people
would agree that the feasibility of traveling with a large room
did not exist, and still does not, even today. A dilemma arose
as to how to preserve a moist cigar while traveling.
Early models of travel humidors were patterned after air-tight
cases in which the cigar aficionado placed cigars already maintained
in a cellar humidor. This worked well except that when one opened
the travel humidor, since the maintained humidity existed as a
result of already moist cigars, each time the humidor was opened,
humidity would escape and the ambient humidity of the room replaced
the humidity that had been inside the travel humidor.
Today humidors can be found that are battery-powered or can be
plugged into any available AC outlet or a combination of both.
While these types of humidors are more functional than ostentatious,
they can be made of any materials in varying shapes and designs,
suited to please the taste of even the most discriminating smoker.
Most travel humidors are made of extremely durable plastic, designed
to withstand the rigors of being moved about and for its lightweight
portability.
Travel humidors now meant that a society
that is becoming increasingly more mobile as a result of the prevalence
of automobiles and air is no longer demanded to choose between
having a perfect cigar and being tied to home or having to leave
behind one’s favorite pastime to travel.
Travel humidors are also an inexpensive addition with many functional
travel humidors costing less than $30. The internet is an excellent
way to research the different styles and brands while also finding
the least expensive style that will meet ones requirements. Humidors
