With proper care and attention, your affordable humidor will give you years of service. And no, you don't have to feed and walk it everyday! To help you maintain your investment, I have outlined some basic tips:

Storage:

• Store your humidor on a flat even surface.
  This will prevent it from being knocked over.
• Never store your humidor in direct sunlight. This may fade the wood and heat the inside of the humidor past the safe range.
• Prevent placing objects on top of the humidor.
• Do not place the humidor near a source of heat or cold, like a window or fireplace. This may raise the temperature inside the humidor to a level past the safe range.
  

Cleaning:

• Always use a soft cloth when cleaning.
• Furniture polish and Murphy's soap are good products which can be safely used on the outside of your humidor to either clean or polish it.
• Regular dustings will help keep your humidor looking as good as new.
• Never use any kind of cleaning solutions for the inside of your humidor. The oder they emit can ruin the flavor of your cigars.
