What sort of methods did they use for cigar storage back then?  Obviously now we have beads, crystals, electronic humidifiers and hygrometers , but without the aid of technology, how did people like Churchill keep their cigars fresh?

Cool pics, thanx for sharing!

That's cool. He met world leaders with a cigar in his mouth, now we can't smoke anywhere???

Thanks Krieg...that was very cool. I love his quote about his rule of life being to smoke and drink whenever the hell he felt the need. When you're prime minister, president, etc., you can smoke whenever and wherever you damn well please.

Although it's now probably trademarked by the cigar company that shares his name but I love the quote....

Something like:
"I have very simple tastes, I am easily pleased with the very best!"

Who Farted?

I agree with Jacketsrule. It struck me that he was greeting world leaders with a smoke in his mouth. If a Prime Minister, President, etc. did that now, it would be on CNN in a heartbeat! Oh, for the good old days!

in smaller humidors there was a crude humidification device that contains some sort of fiber inner lining between a metal screen and a solid sheet of thin aluminum, with about a quarter inch of space behind it.


many humidors were actually lined with copper. Im not sure abot the scale we are talkin with Churchill. it said thousands of cigars. im sure that was a walk in humidor and he had some sort of active humidification device... even then it was known that steam is moisture.

I have a antique end table humidor from my grandfather that was lined w\ Copper. I am going to attempt to restore it once I have the time. Skill level should be fairly easy, ist just time.
