When a cigar enthusiast considers the process of cigar aging, they will need to first ponder on a few essential facts. The first is that they should not even consider enjoying the fresh cigars for at least a full calendar year. This means that the most essential of cigar accessories is going to be the humidor. This is the cedar box (which may have a solid or glass top) that is designed with a hygrometer to monitoring humidity and even a miniscule humidifier built into its interior. The humidor may also have a few trays or levels for storage and will often come with Spanish cedar slats to be used as dividers within single trays.
So, does this mean that you can take all of your cigars and put them in the same box without any further worries or concerns? No, it helps to understand that cigars are full of volatile oils and humidity, and these can often cause a few "clashes" between varieties. For example, most modern cigars will come with a cellophane wrapper, and this is not to maintain the humidity, but to allow the cigar to actually pull air through the wrapper. This cellophane is used primarily to prevent damage from occurring to the tobacco wrapping the cigar and to minimize the amount of flavor or aroma mingling that can occur within a humidor.

Is the humidor the only vital accessory for ensuring a good result? Naturally, the other part of the equation is the cigar owner. If they do not monitor the levels within the humidor, and if they mingle inappropriate varieties in the same location, then the results are sure to be unsatisfactory.
