If the cigar is packed in aluminum tube or cellophane, it is recommended not to disassemble it, and try to keep its original appearance.
Different from the cigar electronic cabinet, the temperature control of the cigar box is a physical temperature, unlike that of the electronic cabinet adjusted by the internal motor system.
Therefore, if the external temperature is too high or too low, the temperature in the cigar box cannot be stable between 18-20 ℃. Therefore, where conditions permit, it is better to put it into the air-conditioned room. If not, place in a cool place.
