Buying guide
Each cut changes the draw. None is wrong.
| Cutter | Draw | Best for |
|---|---|---|

How-to
Skip this and the cedar will pull moisture out of your cigars.
Wipe the inside cedar lightly with distilled water on a clean cloth. Don’t soak it.
Place humidity packs (69%) or a charged humidifier inside.
Close the lid and leave it for three to seven days.
When the hygrometer holds 65–72%, it’s ready for cigars.
