Why this carbon fiber + Spanish cedar combination?
Each material plays a distinct and complementary role. Carbon fiber protects from the outside: it absorbs shocks, resists pressure, and preserves the integrity of the cylinder during transport — a level of protection neither leather nor wood can match in this regard. Its lightness compared to steel makes it the natural choice for a travel humidor.
Spanish cedar regulates the interior environment: its hygroscopic fibers absorb excess moisture and release it when the air is too dry, its terpenes gradually enrich the cigars' aromas, and its scent repels tobacco beetles. The combination offers complete protection — mechanical on the outside, hygrometric on the inside — with no compromises.

Distilled water only: refill the humidifier using the included pipette and distilled water — never use tap water, as it causes mineral buildup in the system. Check the hygrometer weekly and refill whenever the level drops below 65%.
Capacity varies based on ring gauge: between 5 and 10 cigars. Large formats (Gordo 60 gauge) reduce capacity. Slim formats (Corona 42 gauge) allow for more to fit in the 7.5 cm diameter cylinder.

High-tech cigar gift

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Orbal Carbon and the LYROK humidor?
Both are cylindrical with integrated hygrometers and humidifiers. The Orbal Carbon is made of carbon fiber with a Spanish cedar interior, for 5 to 10 cigars. The LYROK is made of steel, without cedar, for 3 to 5 cigars. The Orbal Carbon offers greater capacity and the natural aromatic enrichment of cedar.
Why combine carbon fiber and Spanish cedar?
Each material plays a distinct role: carbon fiber protects from the outside (shocks, pressure, lightness), while Spanish cedar regulates the interior environment (humidity, aromas, tobacco beetle protection). The combination offers complete protection — mechanical on the outside, hygrometric on the inside — without compromising on style.
How many cigars does the Orbal Carbon actually hold?
Between 5 and 10 cigars depending on the ring gauge. Large formats (Gordo 60 gauge) reduce capacity to about 5 cigars. Slim formats (Corona 42 gauge) allow for up to 10. The internal diameter of the cylinder is 7.5 cm.
How do I refill the Orbal Carbon's humidifier?
Use the included pipette to add a few drops of distilled water only to the humidifier — never use tap water, as it causes mineral buildup. Refill whenever the hygrometer drops below 65% — generally every 1 to 3 weeks depending on the ambient humidity.
Can Boveda packs be used in the Orbal Carbon?
This depends on the space available inside once your cigars are loaded. A mini Boveda pack can replace the provided humidifier if space permits — check based on the number of cigars you are placing inside. Boveda offers more precise regulation without the need for weekly maintenance.
Is the Orbal Carbon suitable for air travel?
Yes — its compact cylindrical format (20 × 7.5 cm) and shock-resistant carbon fiber make it an excellent travel companion. Place it in your carry-on (check your airline's rules) or in your checked luggage. Refill the humidifier before departure for maximum autonomy during the flight.
Is the Orbal Carbon a good gift for a cigar lover?
Yes — the combination of carbon fiber, Spanish cedar, and a cylindrical format is rare and distinctive. The integrated hygrometer and humidifier make it a true storage humidor, not just a simple case. It is an item that an enthusiast likely does not yet have in their collection.
