This is a (translated) passage from an interview with a prominent Swiss
cigar smoker:
"We thought about who knows best how to store something at a constant
temperature and humidity. The answer is: laboratories. So we looked for
a
maker of climatised storage for laboratories."
The bloke then goes on to specify the firm and to wonder why they don't
do a
specific product line for cigars and wine.
The logic of his approach is what impressed me. Bacterial cultures,
blood
and tissue samples, even whole organs -- they all need to be stored at
precisely the right temperature and humidity for very extended periods,
which is exactly what cigar smokers require. So why do we bother with
mass-produced boxes or converted wine fridges and the like?
Cost.
Duh!
Yeah...put your $3 smokes in a $5000 humidor.
(I'm reminded of the piece about the Coloradoans that have their $8000
mountain bike strapped to the roof of their $800, 37 year old VW.)
