Appearance: Observe the appearance of the cigar. Does the cigar’s wrapper have the right color? Is the cigar’s wrapper oily and has a good shine?

6.   If the humidity of the humidor is very low, then the cigars will dry off and burn very fast. In case if humidity is extremely high, you cigar will get soggy and will not be able to burn effectively. And if the humidor is very warm, there will be a likelihood of mold emerging and this will ruin your cigar. Another peril of warm temperature is risk of cigar mites. If you get cigar mites, then definitely all the cigars will get damaged. If the humidor is infected with mites then, freeze it. They will not be able to endure in cold temperature. A lot of cigar admirers have a habit of freezing their new cigars even before they store them in the humidor. In fact this is a good idea.
