All these years we have been striving to learn everything there is to know about this niche, so that we have become passionate about cigar storage and cigar accessories, to the point of obsession. Our Humidor Guide has become the standard reference on humidors with translations in over 30 languages. At first glance, one humidor can seem to be as good as any other. But when you stop to take a closer look, there are tremendous differences in terms of both humidification systems and humidor construction which can have a real impact on the condition and taste of your cigars. We are obsessed with identifying the best products, with innovative ideas leading to superior performance, and which offer real value for the money. It is far too easy to be blinded by fancy luxury brand names but the over 10000 product reviews written by our clients make it simple to choose a humidor.
We strive for excellence through:
- Offering the best value
- Logistics
- Customer service

We offer the best value to our customers. We want every visitor to the HumidorDiscount online shop to rest assured that they will get the lowest price around. Every purchase on HumidorDiscount is covered by our lowest price guarantee. In addition we offer very favorable shipping terms; over 90% of all orders in our shop qualify for free shipping (see shipping costs).
Logistics: Our clients want to receive their orders with as short a wait period as possible. Many of the orders placed in our shop are bought as gifts so the buyer needs to be sure that the product will arrive on time. Serving customers around the globe, this poses a logistical challenge, even more so considering our commitment to offering very favorable shipping costs. To address this, we’ve come up with a logistics solution where our products are stocked on three continents in warehouses in Germany, the US, Japan, France, Italy, the UK and Spain. This assures that most clients in Europe and North America receive their orders within 48h of shipment. If a product is not in stock at the warehouse closest to the customer, we ship from elsewhere via UPS worldwide service, without any additional cost to the client. Upon shipment, every buyer receives an email notification including a tracking code, which makes it possible to determine the exact location of each package at any given moment, from shipment till delivery.
Customer Service: We know that friendly and knowledgeable customer service is critical for a positive buying experience. If you have any questions or concerns about any of our products, don't hesitate to contact one of our consultants who will be happy to help. Should you have any suggestions for improvement, we want to hear them. Please let us know and help us in our goal to continuously improve the customer experience. As part of our dedication to excellence in customer service we offer a 100-day return policy.
