Can a cigar box be used as a humidor?
1 Answer

Yes, although whether or not a cigar box can be used as a humidor depends on its design. Only cigar boxes that seal well and are crafted entirely out of wood and lined with cedar should be used as humidors. You will also need to add a humidification device to the box to preserve the freshness of your cigars. On 1stDibs, find a collection of humidors.
