Why a Spanish cedar interior?
It is the wood used in all premium humidors for centuries. Its hygroscopic properties naturally regulate ambient humidity — absorbing excess moisture and releasing it when the air is too dry. Its aromatic terpenes gradually enrich the flavors of your cigars through transfer. And it naturally repels the tobacco beetle, a pest capable of destroying a collection.
A humidor lined with Spanish cedar offers incomparably superior preservation to an MDF or plastic humidor.
Preparing your ORBAL PRIME humidor before first use
1
Moisten the interior — use the included pipette to lightly moisten the cedar walls with distilled water. Dab gently — do not over-wet.
2
Charge the humidifier — fill it to 50% with distilled water using the pipette. Place it inside with the hygrometer and close the humidor.
3
Wait 24 to 48 hours — check the hygrometer. The target is a stable 65 to 70%. Repeat if the humidity is insufficient.
Place your cigars — once the humidity is stable, your ORBAL PRIME is ready to house your collection in perfect conditions.
Distilled water only — never use tap water in the humidifier. Limescale clogs humidification systems and can leave mineral residues on tobacco leaves.

Frequently asked questions
How many cigars does the ORBAL PRIME actually hold?
Between 5 and 10 cigars depending on their format and diameter. Slim cigars like the Corona (42 ring gauge) allow for up to 10. Generous formats like the Robusto (50 ring gauge) or Churchill (47 ring gauge) take up more space — count on 5 to 7 depending on arrangement.
Does the humidor need to be prepared before adding cigars?
Yes — seasoning is essential. New cedar is delivered dry and would absorb moisture from your cigars if you placed them inside immediately. Moisten the interior gradually over 24 to 48 hours with the provided pipette before first use. The 4 steps are detailed above.
What is the difference between the Solo version and the sets?
The Solo version includes only the ORBAL PRIME humidor with hygrometer, humidifier, and pipette. The HOUDINI, VARGAS, GOLDYR, and INFERNO sets each add a coordinated lighter and cigar cutter — for a complete ritual ready for use upon receipt.
Is the ORBAL PRIME humidor suitable for travel?
Its compact cylindrical format (20.2 × 7.8 cm) makes it convenient to carry in a bag or suitcase. For air travel, we recommend a rigid cigar case for carry-on luggage — the ORBAL PRIME is designed more for the office or car travel.
Can Boveda packs be used in the ORBAL PRIME?
Yes — the ORBAL PRIME is compatible with 69% or 72% Boveda packs as a replacement for the provided humidifier. For long-term preservation or high precision without weekly maintenance, Boveda packs are particularly well-suited to this compact format.
How do I refill the humidifier with the pipette?
Remove the humidifier from the humidor. Use the provided pipette to add distilled water only — never use tap water, as the limescale will clog the humidifier. Refill whenever the hygrometer drops below 65%. The pipette allows for precise refilling without spills or the risk of wetting the cedar.
Is the ORBAL PRIME a good gift for a cigar lover?
Yes — its original cylindrical design distinguishes it from all classic rectangular humidors. As a set with a lighter and cigar cutter, it is a complete gift that is immediately usable. Perfect for a birthday, Father's Day, or retirement — an object that surprises upon opening.
