Humidors with cigar capacity 10 cigars

Cigar types available

Cigars vary by size, construction style, and the origin of their leaf. Straight-shaped classics like Corona, Robusto, Toro, and Churchill differ in length and ring gauge, which affects how long they burn and how intense the flavour feels. Shaped formats (Figurados) narrow toward one end, helping the aroma build gradually.

The country of origin sets the overall character: Cuban pieces tend to be deep and earthy, Dominican options are known for gentle, creamy profiles, Nicaraguan ones lean toward spice and power, while Honduran cigars deliver a more woody edge. Long-filler items offer a slower, more refined burn thanks to whole leaves inside; mixed- or short-filler versions burn quicker and feel lighter. Hand-rolled cigars rely on craftsmanship and attention to detail, while machine-rolled options stay budget-friendly and good for casual smoking.

What to know before you buy

Cigar smoke is tasted, not inhaled - you pull it into your mouth, enjoy the flavour, and release it. Inhaling like a cigarette makes the experience harsh.

Before lighting, trim just the very end of the closed cap using a cutter or punch to open the draw. For lighting, use a torch lighter or long match, keeping the foot above the flame and rotating until it glows evenly. Take relaxed, periodic puffs as the cigar warms - rushing overheats it, while long pauses make it go out.

Let a small ash column form naturally and tap it off gently when needed. Once you're done, simply leave the cigar in an ashtray; it will fade out on its own.
