Excellence in Preservation: The Cigar Smoker's Collection

For the most discerning cigar aficionados , enjoying a cigar is a sacred ritual that begins long before the first draw. Storage is the critical step, the determining factor that separates a disappointing experience from a memorable tasting with sublime aromas. At Atelier Atypique , we consider high-quality cigars to be living, organic products, extremely sensitive to the slightest fluctuations in their environment. Whether you are a nomadic aficionado who favors travel humidors or a seasoned collector managing large-capacity cigar cabinets , our mission is to provide you with an infallible technical storage solution.

Maintaining your cigars in ideal humidity conditions is not just a matter of durability; it is the absolute guarantee of preserving the essential oils and the suppleness of the wrapper, thus ensuring even burning and optimal release of flavors when enjoying a cigar.

Cigar Cabinets and Travel Humidors: Solutions for Every Aficionado

Storing premium tobacco leaves no room for improvisation. Cigar cabinets represent the pinnacle of preservation for large collections. These cabinets allow you to organize your various cigars (Havana, Maduro, Connecticut) while preventing unwanted flavor transfer. Each cabinet in our extensive range is ingeniously designed to optimize airflow, eliminating areas of stagnant humidity. The preferred material remains Spanish cedar (Cedrela Odorata). Its exceptional porosity allows it to act as a natural buffer, absorbing excess moisture and releasing it precisely when the air dries, guaranteeing flawless stability.

Conversely, for the modern smoker, protection on the go is paramount. Travel humidors and hard cases are your defenses against external elements. Whether you're on a business trip or a day out, these technical accessories protect your precious cigars from thermal and mechanical shocks. A cigar exposed to air loses its balance within hours; our travel humidors maintain a protective microclimate to ensure a perfect smoking experience, regardless of your time zone.

The Scientific and Aromatic Role of the Spanish Cedar

Why is Spanish cedar the absolute standard for premium cigar humidors ? Beyond its hygroscopic regulating properties, it plays a vital protective role. Its characteristic aroma is a natural repellent against the tobacco beetle, a parasite capable of destroying an entire collection. Furthermore, cedar actively participates in the aging process. It releases woody and spicy notes that intertwine with the tobacco aromas, enriching the sensory profile of your cigars. At Atelier Atypique, we guarantee that our humidors use this precious wood to provide a resting environment worthy of the finest manufacturers.

Mastering Humidity: Precision Humidification Systems

The humidification system is the heart of your humidor. For optimal preservation, the humidity level should fluctuate between 68% and 72%. Insufficient humidity makes tobacco brittle and the smoke harsh, while excess humidity promotes mold growth. Atelier Atypique offers two technological approaches:

• Electronic Humidifiers: For autonomous management, these systems regulate humidity by micro-ventilation, activating only when sensors detect a deviation from the programmed setpoint.
• Classic Humidifiers: Using polymers or crystal gels, they offer a reliable and quiet solution for medium-sized cellars.

To monitor this delicate balance, installing a precision hygrometer is essential. Our digital and analog models allow you to verify in real time that your precious cigars are being stored optimally.

The Art of the Accessory: Refinement and Technical Precision

The smoker's experience doesn't end with storage. Atelier Atypique has selected a range of premium accessories to cater to the rituals of connoisseurs. Each tool is evaluated for its durability (440C steel, titanium) and ergonomics.

Cigar cutter: The Excellence of the Clean Cut

The opening of the cigar's head determines the draw. An imprecise cut can damage the wrapper and affect the burn. We offer three main styles:

• The Double Blade Guillotine: For a symmetrical and clean cut without compressing the tobacco.
• The V-Cut: For concentrated aromas and controlled draw, ideal for large diameters (cepos).
• The Punch: For a discreet circular incision preserving the integrity of the crown.

Cigar Ashtrays : Design and Functionality

The cigar ashtray is a centerpiece of your smoking room. Unlike cigarette ashtrays, they feature wide rests to hold the cigar horizontally, preventing it from going out or falling. Whether made of cedar wood , brushed metal , or ceramic, they are designed to hold the ash, a testament to quality craftsmanship. The 4-cigar wooden ashtray is perfect for sharing moments among enthusiasts.
