How to Buy a Cigar Travel Humidor. If you do a lot of traveling and you're a
serious cigar smoker, buy a cigar travel humidor to keep your cigars fresh and prevent them
from being damaged while you're in transit. You will need Airtight sealed plastic food

Distilled water and hygrometer. Step 1. Buy an airtight sealed plastic food container
if you decide to make your own cigar travel humidor for a day trip. Step 2. Place three to five cigars in a plastic sandwich
bag. Place a small damp paper towel in the bag,
seal the bag, and put the cigars in the food container. Individual good cigars sold in a tube or "tubo"
are usually properly humidified and won't require a travel humidor. Step 3. Shop for a travel humidor at a tobacconist
if you're a frequent traveler. It should fit your preferred cigar size and
shape, and withstand repeated opening and closing. Check that the travel humidor comes with a
humidifier device. Step 4. Season your travel humidor. Soak the humidifier in distilled water, place
it in the humidor, and close it. If you buy a leather travel humidor, make
sure that it's lined so your cigars won't have a leathery taste. Step 5. Buy a hygrometer to monitor the humidor's
temperature on longer trips. The recommended humidor interior temperature
is 70 percent humidity and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Did you know Fidel Castro believed that the
