How long have humidors been around?
Humidors have been around for hundreds of years now, but really hadn't caught on until the early 1800s when they were made with solid wood that was nailed together and featured a hinge. These, obviously, were called Nailed Wood Humidors (NW for short), and were some of the most basic humidors available.
How long do cigars last without a humidor?
Without a humidor, you just need to smoke your cigar more quickly. A cigar will stay fresh in a ziplock bag for just 2 to 3 days. If you can't get to your cigar within that period of time, add a Boveda to your ziplock bag or other container, like a tupperware dish.
