Cigar Humidors-Glass top humidor or solid wood?

Many people wonder what is better, a glass top humidor or a solid wood humidor. While there are arguments for both, the answer depends mainly on your personal taste.

The main argument for purchasing a solid wood humidor rather than glass top is that wood lids are more reliable because they have a better seal. Since there are no extra seams, the humidors seal can't be compromised and there are fewer places where humidity can leak from. This seems like a pretty reasonable argument. And to be fair, there are certainly cases where the glass has come loose in its frame and begins to wiggle. This is quite obviously not good for sealing in the humidity required for your cigars!

Having said that, thousands of glass top humidors are sold every year and are trusted to store millions of cigars. Also, if you think about the argument further, almost all commercial or display humidors use glass. They need to because vendors have to display their products. These are vendors that are storing hundreds or thousands of cigars for their clients to purchase! If they can trust storing thousands of dollars worth of cigars in glass display humidors, why shouldn't you?

The issue some have with solid wood humidors is that they like to see their cigars. In order to do this with a wood lid, they are forced to open their humidors and this releases a lot of humidity. For people who like to look at their cigars, glass top humidors are much better because humidity levels can remain stable.

Realistically, both glass top humidors and solid wood humidors will do the job you need them to do. In the end it comes down to what you're comfortable with and what aesthetic you like more. I like the glass top myself. Firstly, because I think it looks good. Secondly, I don't need to open the humidor to look at my cigars...and the less you open it, the less humidity fluctuations you will have inside the humidor.
