The Simple Electric Humidor Temperature Guide for Perfect Cigars
In the UAE, the summer heat can be very high. This makes it hard to keep your cigars fresh. A traditional wooden box might not be enough. An electric humidor is the best way to control the environment for your collection.
But what is the right temperature? If it is too hot, your cigars can grow bugs or mold. If it is too cold, they will dry out. In this guide, we will help you set the perfect temperature for your humidor.

The Ideal Temperature for Cigars
Most cigar lovers agree that the best temperature for an electric humidor is between 18°C and 21°C (64°F to 70°F).
At Hemingway, we recommend staying closer to 18°C or 19°C if you are aging your cigars for a long time. This keeps the tobacco oils stable and helps the flavor get better over the years.
Why Temperature Control is Important in the UAE
Living in Dubai or Abu Dhabi means your home AC might change when you go to work. High heat (above 23°C) is dangerous for cigars because:
- Cigar Beetles: Tiny bugs can hatch inside the tobacco if it gets too warm.
- Mold: Warm, damp air causes mold that can ruin your entire collection.
- Quick Drying: Heat makes the moisture leave the cigar too fast, making it taste bitter.
Understanding the 70/70 Rule
You may have heard of the "70/70 Rule." This means 70% humidity and 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21°C). While this is a good guide, many people in the Middle East prefer 65% to 70% humidity to ensure a perfect burn.
With a Hemingway Electric Humidor, you can set these numbers exactly using the digital touch screen.

Pro Tips for Stable Temperature
- Avoid Sunlight: Do not place your humidor near a window. Sunlight will make the temperature jump quickly.
- Don't Overfill: Leave some space between your cigar boxes for air to move. This ensures the temperature is the same at the top and bottom.
- Check the Seal: Make sure the door is closed tightly. Our B2 model even includes a fingerprint lock to keep your collection secure.
