Its lid opens to reveal \u003cstrong\u003etwo glass windows\u003c\/strong\u003e that allow you to view your collection without letting humidity escape, and the interior is entirely lined with \u003cstrong\u003ecedar wood\u003c\/strong\u003e, the gold standard for humidors. It accommodates \u003cstrong\u003e20 to 35 cigars\u003c\/strong\u003e depending on their size, with a \u003cstrong\u003eremovable cedar divider\u003c\/strong\u003e to organize different formats. Beneath the main compartment, an \u003cstrong\u003eaccessory drawer\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps your cigar cutter and lighter close at hand.

Measuring 23.5 x 18.1 x 11.7 cm, this cigar box fits perfectly on a desk, console table, or bookshelf, making it a ready-to-gift choice for both beginners and seasoned smokers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"aa-title\"\u003eCedar wood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"aa-mat\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy cedar lines the inside of humidors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince the 19th century, cigar boxes and humidors have been lined with \u003cstrong\u003ecedar\u003c\/strong\u003e, specifically \"Spanish cedar,\" a wood from Central America used by Cuban manufacturers for their boxes. This light, soft wood has three qualities that made it the industry standard: it \u003cstrong\u003eabsorbs and releases moisture\u003c\/strong\u003e slowly, which smooths out fluctuations within the humidor; it releases a subtle \u003cstrong\u003ewoody fragrance\u003c\/strong\u003e that complements the aging of cigars; and it is naturally resistant to insects, including the dreaded tobacco beetle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the CARTEL, cedar lines the bottom, walls, lid, and divider. Before storing your cigars, this wood must be \u003cstrong\u003eseasoned for the first time\u003c\/strong\u003e (known as \"seasoning\"): because it is dry upon delivery, it would otherwise absorb the moisture from your cigars.

Wood that is dry upon delivery will suck the moisture right out of your cigars and make them brittle. Afterward, check the hygrometer once a week and refill the humidifier as soon as the needle drops below 65%. For the lighter, fill it with butane gas before the first use and let it rest for a few minutes after each refill.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"aa-title\"\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"aa-sp\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eDesk humidor with drawer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCARTEL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e23.5 x 18.1 x 11.7 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCigar compartment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e21 x 15.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e20 to 35 cigars depending on module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 2.1 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eExterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eWood, black finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eInterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCedar wood, removable divider\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eLid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo glass windows, embedded hygrometer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eBrushed metal latch, metal hinges\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eHumidification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eBar humidifier, needle hygrometer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eLighter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e3-torch, butane, adjustable flame, visible reservoir\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eLighter dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e7.7 x 3.9 x 1.5 cm, 8 mm punch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"aa-warn\"\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e the CARTEL closes with a latch and does not have a lock.
