Choose a module

The diameter and length of a cigar influence its taste directly. It is important to know that big cigars are usually smoked more easily than small ones. Most of them have a cylindrical body, but they usually come in a wide variety of shapes. The bullet-shaped cigars are some of the most popular shapes.
You can choose a different type of cigar from your cigar humidor Griffin for every moment of the day. By cons, you should know that cigar lovers who smoke big cigars like Churchill, Robusto or Double Corona cigars will struggle to go back to the smaller cigars. The brands should also be selected according to their taste because a different perfect taste for every moment of the day.

Cellophane tubes

Some low-end cigars hide their faults in a luxurious dressing, but this is not a rule. For example, Davidoff and Romeo y Julieta are very popular and yet their quality is not quite the best. It is generally better to spend money on an unknown brand that on a brand of cigars which come in a tube, but you can give it a try if you have heard of it.
Cellophane (which is actually polypropylene) is useful for preserving cigars, but it is imperative to remove the protective coating before placing your precious modules in a humidor.

Color

There are many shades of cigars, but it is wrong to believe that the color and the cigar humidor used are directly related to the quality of the cigar. The color is determined by the nature of the leaf and its fermentation. By cons, it is known that each cigar is unique, but you should not judge its quality based on the color because you will miss out on its wonders. Similarly, it is wrong to believe that dark cigars are stronger than the clear ones.
