humidor

Tobacco moisture box

A humidor is a container designed to maintain constant humidity, used primarily for storing cigars and pipe tobacco.

The controlled moisture prevents tobacco from drying out and losing flavor.

Humidors range from small desktop boxes to walk-in rooms: He kept his Cubans in a cedar humidor.
