News - YITO Cigar Humidor Bags: Moisturizing Cigars for Wholesale

Cigar enthusiasts understand the importance of maintaining the perfect balance of humidity and temperature to preserve the rich flavors and aromas of their cigars.

A cigar humidor bag offers a portable and efficient solution to this need, ensuring that cigars stay fresh and flavorful, even during travel or short-term storage. Do you know how these bags work and why they are superior to regular ziplock bags.

What is a Cigar Humidification Bag?

A cigar humidification bag is a specially designed storage solution that combines convenience with advanced moisture control. Constructed from a plastic moisture layer, reverse osmosis membrane, and natural cotton, these bags are built to maintain the optimal humidity level for your cigars.

They feature a food-grade PE/OPP material with a self-sealing zipper or bone bar zipper for a secure and airtight seal, keeping your cigars fresh and protected during storage and transport.

Made from thick, high-quality materials, our cigar humidification bags not only maintain the right moisture level but also protect your cigars from damage, preventing your cigars from being crushed or dented, ensuring they stay in pristine condition until you're ready to enjoy them.

How does a Cigar Humidifier Bag Work?

The key to a cigar humidifier bag's effectiveness lies in its advanced moisture management system. Here's a breakdown of how it works:

Reverse Osmosis Membrane

Inside the bag, a reverse osmosis membrane controls the movement of moisture. This membrane ensures that the bag only releases moisture into the air when the humidity drops below a certain level. It prevents over-humidifying, keeping the cigars at the optimal moisture level for longer periods.

Cotton Layer for Moisture Distribution

The natural cotton layer in the bag helps evenly distribute moisture across the cigars, preventing any dry spots or excess humidity that can damage the product. The cotton absorbs and gradually releases moisture, ensuring a steady supply of humidity to maintain freshness.

Moisture Solution

The built-in moisture solution within the bag acts as a reservoir, slowly releasing water vapor to maintain a consistent humidity level inside the bag. This process ensures that the cigars are protected from drying out or becoming too wet, which could affect their quality and taste.

Sealed Environment for Long-Term Storage

With a self-sealing zipper or bone bar zipper, the cigar humidor bag locks in moisture and protects your cigars from external environmental factors like temperature fluctuations, dry air, and humidity changes. The three-side sealed design offers additional security, preventing any moisture from escaping.

How does a Cigar Humidifier Bag Work?

Maintaining the correct relative humidity (RH) is essential for preserving the aroma, flavor, and structural integrity of cigars. The optimal humidity range for cigar storage is 65% to 72% RH, with 69% being the sweet spot for most premium cigars.

Below 62%, cigars begin to dry out and become brittle, while levels above 75% can lead to mold growth or tobacco beetle infestations.

YITO's humidor bags are engineered to maintain a stable internal environment within this optimal humidity range. The internal moisturizing membrane releases moisture gradually and evenly, ensuring your cigars remain in perfect smoking condition—whether stored for a few days or several months. This makes YITO’s solution ideal for both short-term travel use and long-term cigar aging.

Reusability and Shelf Life of Humidor Bags

Unlike single-use cigar humidification packets, YITO’s humidor bags are designed for multiple uses. Each bag incorporates a replaceable moisturizing membrane that can be rehydrated or swapped out after approximately 90 days of use, depending on storage conditions.

The outer barrier layer, made from multilayer high-barrier films, helps retain humidity without external leakage, extending the bag's overall life span. For best results, users can reactivate the humidification layer by gently adding distilled water when signs of dryness appear. This reusable design reduces packaging waste and provides long-term cost savings for cigar enthusiasts and retailers alike.

Temperature Sensitivity and Best Storage Practices

While proper humidity control is vital, temperature also plays a critical role in cigar preservation. The ideal temperature for cigar storage is 18–22°C (65–72°F). Storing cigars at temperatures above 25°C (77°F) can accelerate the risk of tobacco beetle hatching and flavor degradation, even when humidity is properly maintained.

YITO’s humidor bags provide an airtight and light-blocking barrier, shielding cigars from UV exposure and rapid temperature changes. However, we recommend keeping the bags in a cool, shaded environment, such as a drawer, cabinet, or climate-controlled room, to ensure optimal performance. Avoid leaving the bag in hot vehicles or direct sunlight.
