In addition to a standard humidor, travel, cabinet, and glass top humidors bring joy to the true cigar aficionado. For the cigar smoker who may not need the massive design of a Cabinet Cigar Humidor but still wants to add weight to his or her prized collection of fine cigars, glass top humidors are an excellent selection. The term glass top humidor does not refer to the design or materials used in the manufacturing of the Cigar Humidor. Instead, a more common understanding of the “glass top” humidor is “desktop” humidor.

The glass top Cigar Humidor is very popular for several reasons. First, the investment necessary to purchase a glass top humidor is much less than for a Cabinet Cigar Humidor. A search on the internet reveals that there are countless glass top humidors for less than $200 that  come in untold designs, shapes and quality. The average cigar capacity of a Large Cigar Humidor can vary from smaller units that hold 25 or so cigars to larger units that keep upwards of 200 cigars.

Anyone needing to maintain more than 200 cigars will need to research buying a smaller chest size Cigar Humidor Set or a small to Large Cigar Humidor. As with cabinet humidors, the most common interior wood is the Spanish cedar wood for its quality in maintaining humidity levels and for adding rich flavors to the cigar.

One additional offering with Cabinet Cigar Humidor is that they will almost always offer external hygrometers (the gauge for determining the internal humidity levels.) This is extremely important for two reasons. For one, if the Cigar Humidor Accessory needs to be opened each time to determine the humidity levels, each time the case is opened, the humidity level will fluctuate. This can lead to the humidifier being overworked and possibly failing. Secondly, one must observe and monitor the levels to determine the effectiveness of any Cigar Humidor and if there is a failure in the humidifier.
