Carbon fiber and Spanish cedar: the exceptional duo
Two materials with complementary roles
Carbon fiber, derived from the aeronautics industry, offers an unrivaled strength-to-weight ratio. Its woven structure absorbs shocks and protects the contents from mechanical stresses—pressure, friction, micro-impacts—while maintaining remarkable lightness. Its checkered weave gives the humidor an immediately identifiable technical aesthetic.
Spanish cedar (Cedrela odorata) is the historic wood for cigar preservation. Its natural hygroscopic properties allow it to absorb excess humidity and release it when the air becomes dry, stabilizing the internal micro-climate. Its essential oils contribute to the progressive aromatic enrichment of the cigars and exert a natural repellent action against tobacco parasites.
The strengths of the SHADOW PRESTIGE humidor
🛡️
Carbon protection

🌿
All-cedar interior
The interior fully lined with Spanish cedar naturally regulates humidity and progressively enriches the aromas of your cigars over time.
🔍
Glass lid

🎯
Analog hygrometer
The needle dial integrated into the front offers an instant and reliable reading of the humidity level—a classic for cigar preservation, without batteries or electronics.
🔧
Removable divider
The cedar divider can be installed or removed to adapt the internal space according to the size and number of your cigars—from 20 to 45 pieces.
🎁
Accessories included
Ashtray, guillotine cigar cutter, acrylic cigar stand, and humidification solution are provided—a complete set ready to use from day one.
SHADOW PRESTIGE—the large-format version
The SHADOW PRESTIGE takes the technical DNA of the SHADOW range and gives it greater volume for growing collections. The deep black of the carbon fiber, striated with its checkered pattern, dialogues with the golden warmth of the Spanish cedar visible through the lid's glass. Its analog needle hygrometer integrated into the front adds a classic touch to the whole—a timeless dial reminiscent of traditional humidors. The stainless steel hinges ensure smooth opening despite the more imposing size, and the non-slip felt base protects your surfaces from scratches. Larger, more generous, and still as technical—the SHADOW PRESTIGE is the desktop humidor for those who don't want to choose between capacity and elegance.
Setting up your SHADOW PRESTIGE humidor
First-use guide
1
Seasoning the cedar: Before first use, charge the humidifier with the provided humidification solution and place it in the closed humidor for 24 to 48 hours without cigars. This step allows the cedar to absorb moisture and stabilize the internal micro-climate.
2
Hygrometer calibration: The analog needle hygrometer may require initial calibration. After seasoning, compare the reading with a reference hygrometer. If necessary, adjust the dial using the adjustment screw located on the back of the instrument.
3
Interior organization: Install or remove the cedar divider as needed. Arrange your cigars without overcrowding to allow optimal air circulation around each piece—the humidor holds up to 45 cigars.
4
Monitoring and maintenance: Check the needle hygrometer regularly—aim for a level between 65% and 72% and a temperature of 18°C to 21°C. Refill the humidifier every 2 to 4 weeks depending on the season and the number of cigars stored.

Analog needle hygrometer: the classic dial integrated into the front of the SHADOW PRESTIGE displays the relative humidity level continuously, without batteries or electronic components. For a reliable reading, keep the humidor closed for at least 30 minutes after opening before noting the value. Initial calibration using a reference hygrometer is recommended.
Essential seasoning: new Spanish cedar must be conditioned before first use. Charge the humidifier, place it in the closed humidor without cigars for 24 to 48 hours. Check that the needle hygrometer displays a stable level between 65% and 72% before introducing your cigars.

Frequently asked questions
How many cigars can the SHADOW PRESTIGE humidor hold?
The SHADOW PRESTIGE humidor holds 20 to 45 cigars depending on their format (ring gauge and length). Thanks to its internal height of 9.6 cm, it accommodates even the most generous formats—Churchill, Double Corona, Presidente—without constraint. The removable cedar divider allows you to organize the space. The set comes with an ashtray, guillotine cigar cutter, acrylic cigar stand, humidifier, and humidification solution.
What is the difference between the SHADOW and the SHADOW PRESTIGE?
Both humidors share the same materials—carbon fiber exterior and Spanish cedar interior—as well as the glass lid and removable divider. The PRESTIGE is distinguished by greater volume (9.6 cm height vs 7.1 cm), expanded capacity (20-45 cigars vs 20-35), and an analog needle hygrometer instead of a digital one. Choose the SHADOW for a compact collection, the PRESTIGE for generous volume.
Do I need to prepare the humidor before the first use?
Yes, seasoning is essential. New Spanish cedar must be conditioned to reach its equilibrium humidity level. Charge the humidifier with the provided solution, place it in the closed humidor without cigars for 24 to 48 hours. Check that the needle hygrometer displays a stable level between 65% and 72% before introducing your cigars.
How do I calibrate the analog hygrometer?
The analog needle hygrometer may require initial calibration to ensure an accurate reading. Recommended method: compare its reading with a reference digital hygrometer placed in the same spot inside the closed humidor for 2 hours. If the difference exceeds 3%, adjust the dial using the adjustment screw located on the back of the instrument until the correct value is reached.
How often should I refill the humidifier?
The frequency depends on the number of cigars, the season, and the ambient environment. As a general rule, refill every 2 to 4 weeks with distilled water or the provided humidification solution. Monitor the hygrometer: if the needle drops below 62%, it is time to refill. In summer or in a dry environment (air conditioning), refilling will be more frequent.
Can the SHADOW PRESTIGE be used as a travel humidor?
The SHADOW PRESTIGE is designed as a
large-format desktop humidor. Its carbon fiber provides excellent mechanical protection, and its dimensions remain portable (23.1 × 19.1 × 9.6 cm). However, it does not have an
airtight travel closure (clip or zip). For regular transport, we recommend our
dedicated travel cases.
How do I maintain the exterior carbon fiber?
Carbon fiber is a highly resistant and easy-to-maintain material. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints and dust. For stubborn stains, use a cloth slightly dampened with clear water, then dry immediately. Never use solvents, alcohol, or abrasive products, as these could damage the weave's protective varnish.
