Optimal maturing process
Like a fine Bordeaux or Burgundy wine
cigars are also a natural product
but even more sensitive.
They continue to mature if the necessary

The best solution would of course be
the climate of it‘s origin.
However providing this climate in heated or cooled and dry storage environments is quite difficult.

before distribution. -

•Since the 19th century the use of special cedar wood is common to protect cigars from pests and help to refine aroma. In conjunction with a well balanced airflow of humidity no pests will occur even at a temperature of 64 - 73° Fahrenheit.
