Cannabis Humidors: 4 Weed Humidors To Try

For the discerning cannathusiast, dry, crumbly aging nuggets are more than an inconvenience, they’re an overall crime against nuggetry.

Nug jars, storage jars, and branded plastic bags are perfect for stoners who smoke through their stash on a weekly basis, as the main causes of cannabis degradation are moisture, light exposure, and poor storage materials. But anyone looking to preserve their precious buds for longer than a week or two might consider orienting themselves to generations of cigar puffers and investing in a cannabis-specific humidor.

For those unfamiliar with air-conditioned storage boxes, a humidor is just that: an airtight wooden storage box whose primary function is to provide a constant level of moisture and a lightless, airtight atmosphere to prevent deterioration.

Humidors typically contain a hygrometer, a tool that measures the amount of water vapor in a confined space, and are traditionally made from cedar wood, which maintains its composition regardless of humidity.

Strain hunters hoarding rare strains, breeders with samples of multiple phenotypes to preserve, or even average consumers who prefer not to sacrifice potency or freshness to crappy storage might consider investing in a desktop humidor.

Here are some models to consider.

Cannador

Cannador makes cannabis humidors with multiple options for storing cannabis. The interior of Cannador’s humidor is made from mahogany rather than cedar, which the brand claims holds moisture better without imparting its own woody scent.

You have a choice of boxes of 2, 5, 6, 8 or 9 climate-controlled stem bins, as well as smaller boxes for pre-roll storage, boxes for limited edition artist collections, and a variety of accessories including a handcrafted rolling tray to carve into single piece of wood.

Although these boxes do not come standard with hygrometers to measure humidity, they can be added to your order for about $30.

Price: $189 – $289

Icky Box

Icky’s range of cherry wood humidors come with two or four flower containers and a small accessory shelf for your pipe, papers and lighter. This box is remarkably compact and as such a minimalist iteration of a humidor. Although it doesn’t include a hygrometer, it does include a small Boveda humidity control pack, a disposable pack that uses reverse osmosis to maintain an optimal humidity level of 62% and is a common humidifier. It can be changed after 4 – 6 weeks or when it becomes rigid.

Icky’s boxes are remarkably discreet, small enough to fit in a desk drawer and while the box is airtight enough not to need them, the individual flower containers can be sealed inside the box to prevent spillage during travel.

Price: $49.99 – $84.99

The apothecary case

Arguably the most luxurious of all cannabis humidifiers are the boxes manufactured by Apothecary. The entire line of handcrafted, airtight desktop humidors is designed with function first, but the styles are just as notable, if not more notable.

Each box contains no fewer than two – but usually four – flower pots, a mill, a rotating tray and a small handful of accessories. In addition, Apothecary produces custom stainless metal draw tanks, satin lined humidors, and the 24 jar Dabney tank which is engineered to hold all your concentrates stable and potentially prevent slivers, buds and crumbs from overcooking. Apotheker cases manage humidity with humidity control packs and do not have hygrometers.

Price: $179 – $315

Cannaser

Cannasuer’s walnut humidors feature proprietary Micropore Core™ humidity control technology that maintains an optimal environment for your weed, and all but the most compact boxes also come with hygrometers.

Many of its units also come with a lock and key, adding to the box’s unique aesthetic. When a Cannasuer box is opened and meter and core are displayed, the packaging looks more like a fishing heirloom than a storage box, even when full of nuggets.

The Cannasuer may be the best option for consumers who prefer discretion, minimalism and who particularly enjoy meter reading / boat captain cosplay.
