Humidors Humidors are usually made of Spanish cedar, which is excellent at holding moisture and repels pests to include tobacco beetles. It also doesn’t warp and rot like most
woods do when subjected to moisture.
Cutters Keep ‘em sharp and use the double bladed guillotines. The single blades aren’t ideal for a primary cutter.
Punches My favorite way of cutting most cigars is using a punch. They’re cheap and they work great every time. For two bucks you can keep one on your key chain.

Ashtrays Some ashtrays are pretty damn stylish, if you have the dough to get a good one.Bobkins are a wonderful invention. They fit in your cup holder in your car. Very cool and affordable.
Lighters Torch lighters, if you ask me are so much easier than matches. Get yourself a torch lighter to toast the foot of your cigar. Torch lighters help for a more even burn. Cigarette lighters can introduce the bad taste of butane. With torch lighters you don’t have to draw on your cigar when you light it, so none of the bad chemicals from the butane ever enter the tobacco.

Travel cases & tubes Save those tubes, they come in handy and are cheaper than travel cases. There are some pretty cool travel cases out there though; some even have a container for distilled water in.
Hygrometers Hygrometers are a device for measuring the humidity in your humidor. They do need to be calibrated every now and then, but that’s not hard. They come with instructions on how to calibrate them, but basically you just fill a bottle cap with salt, add a few drops of water to make it damp and place the bottle cap in a Ziplock bag with the hygrometer for six hours, then turn the screw on the back of the hygrometer until it says 75% humidity.
