A cigar wants humidity in a narrow band. A dry certified safe dries it out, a wet cellar molds it. In the overview Security for collectors this is the clearest case in which the wrong certified safe destroys the piece.

What gets ruined without a thief

Too dry, too wet, temperature jumps, a humidor you do not check for months. You measure the humidity with a device you trust, and you replace the source before the box goes musty. Rare boxes stay closed when the price hangs on the seal.

When someone comes

A humidor in the living room is a box with a handle. The everyday box may stand there. The boxes with a receipt and a price stand in the locked room, still in the right climate, not as a substitute in the document safe. In the radar the cigar does not appear.

The folder

Brand, format, whether the box is sealed, receipt. A musty humidor is damage without a burglary, which you record in the list before you throw the contents away or make a claim.
