If you’re in the market for a commercial humidor, it’s important to know how reliable they are.
Commercial humidors can be expensive, and you don’t want to invest in a product that isn’t going to last.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss the reliability of commercial humidors and give you some tips on how to choose one that’s right for you.
What to Consider in a Commercial Humidor
Capacity
The first consideration when selecting from different commercial humidors is typically capacity.
You need to know how many cigars you anticipate selling over time and buy a humidor that can hold that amount.
Commercial humidors come with capacities of up to 4,000 cigars.

Aesthetic
Whether your humidor takes up a lot of room in your shop, bar, or lounge, the humidor’s appearance is also important.
Commercial humidors are often regarded as furniture items by collectors and businesspeople alike, so they should look good in addition to protecting your cigar collection.
Finding a cigar humidor cabinet that matches your taste is crucial, whether that’s more of a classic, double-door style or the modern-designed Frigador humidor cabinets.

Are Commercial Humidors Suitable for a Limited Collection?
When it comes to humidor cabinets, or humidors in general, the most important factor to consider is capacity: how many cigars do you need to store?
A humidor works by regulating humidity levels in a small area.
These humidity levels are affected by the number of cigars stored or the proportion of a humidor’s capacity used.
The thing to remember when stocking humidor cabinets and humidors, in general, is to think about humidity distribution.

Consider Ventilation and Humidity Distribution
The more space inside the humidor, the more you’ll need to consider ventilation and humidity distribution to guarantee that no region of the humidor is less or more humid than another.
This can be accomplished by placing a digital hygrometer in multiple locations throughout the humidor cabinet or walk-in humidor.
If you have a very limited selection of cigars, you may not need a commercial humidor.
Commercial humidors are mainly for cigar shops or collectors that have hundreds – or thousands – of cigars they need to store.
If you’re a small seller or collector, a regular electric humidor might be more suitable.
