My name is Michael Vandenstockt and I"m a fairly well known guy; at least in America"s smoke shops and the world of fine tobacco aficionados. I can be a bit of a polarizing figure, the guy the shop owners either love or hate. They tend to hate me if they"re making a mint by selling the unsuspecting public a bunch of garbage stogies at inflated prices. Frankly, these guys shouldn"t be in business in the first place. On the other hand, they love me if their customers come in and instead of arguing over the prices and looking for the cheapest things they can find, come right out and request a box of Davidoff Aniversario #2, or Padron Aniversario Torpedo, or even Saint Luis Rey Serie G Churchill. An educated customer is the best thing any smoke shop can ask for.

Another product that finer retailers carry is a humidor and I thought I"d spend a bit of time talking about this very essential piece of equipment. Like anything else, there are good, bad and ugly humidors out there. Beyond quality, there are other factors to consider, such as size (or capacity), the construction material and finish (both interior and exterior) and advanced features such as hygrometer and humidification devices.

Humidors are manufactured in a wide range of sizes, from travel versions that only hold several cigars at a time, to models that are large enough to hold hundreds. There"s a fairly obvious price to size ratio going on here, from the amount of raw materials needed to shipping cost. Next up is the construction material and finish. Again, there"s a fair bit of common sense involved here: generally speaking, a plastic humidor is going to be cheaper than one constructed of solid cherry or an exotic material like carbon fiber. Any mechanicals included in the humidor such as a hygrometer (used to measure humidity) or humidification devices used to maintain optimal moisture content within the humidor are going to add to cost. Finally, there"s an intangible, namely the manufacturer. A Davidoff humidor is going to cost more than a similar no-name, simply because of reputation.

You found a humidor for twenty bucks? Chances are it"s either a travel model, or it qualifies for "ugly." A really good one can set you back hundreds to thousands of dollars.

C. Michael Vandenstockt knows his Cigars and he wants everyone else to learn the difference between a good Cohiba and the dried out chafe wrapped in kraft paper you see for sale in corner stores. "I"ve seen too many people turned off cigars for life after one bad stogie at stag party," says Vandenstockt, who has written a series of articles explaining the key differences between a good Cigar and a bad one. His last seminar, held at a popular cigar shop in Baltimore, quickly sold out, proving his message is getting out there.
