What is Active Humidification System?

An Active Humidification System is a modern solution used in cigar humidors to maintain the ideal humidity levels, typically between 65% and 70%, to preserve cigars. Unlike passive systems, which rely on water or humidifying elements, active humidification systems use electronic components to regulate humidity levels precisely. These systems often include fans and sensors that monitor and adjust the environment inside the humidor. For serious cigar collectors or large storage needs, an active humidification system ensures that cigars age properly and retain their flavor, avoiding issues like drying out or becoming overly moist. This system is particularly important in maintaining the quality of premium and rare cigars over long periods.
