The Five Best Desktop Humidors for 2026

The two most important purchases a cigar lover will ever make are 1) their cigars and 2) a humidor to house their cigars. While other cigar accessories are beneficial, humidors are vital to ensuring the quality and smokability of your cigars over the long haul. On that note, today we’ll list the best desktop humidors for cigars – updated for 2026. 

What is a desktop humidor?

A humidor is an airtight container that maintains a consistent temperature and humidity level. Cigars need to be stored at around 70 degrees and 70 percent humidity to remain in top smoking condition. While humidors come in many shapes and sizes, desktop humidors are relatively small boxes that you can set — you guessed it — on a desktop. 

How many cigars can a desktop humidor hold? 

It depends, but generally between 25 and 100. If properly maintained and humidified, cigars can last for years, or even decades, in a desktop humidor. For more information on achieving and keeping proper conditions within your humidor, check out our article here.
