Etymology
The term 'humidor' originates from the Spanish word 'humidificador', which means 'humidifier'. The roots can be traced back to the Latin word 'humidus', meaning 'moist'. As cigars gained popularity in the 19th century, the need for a special storage method arose to preserve their quality, leading to the development of the humidor. Initially, these containers were simple wooden boxes, but they evolved over time to include advanced humidity control systems that can maintain an ideal environment for optimal cigar storage. Today, humidors vary widely in design and functionality, catering to both casual smokers and serious collectors.
