What is a humidor from nanimanu.ch<\/a> really? I tested a humidor from October 2020 to March 2021. These humidors are something very special. Pure wood. Clear lines. No frills. Even no lacquer. These humidors radiate understatement. They radiate calm. To put it simply: beauty. You can find a great interview about the makers of very beautiful wooden products here: Lacklustre humidor by NaniManu ><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you need to know about NaniManu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The humidors are made in a carpentry workshop with assisted persons. What are carers? They are disabled people. Each of these people has different talents. What one person can do is not necessarily what another can do. It is a useful product. And it's simply beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Test
The test was carried out with two Boveda Butlers. This was simply to test any deviations between the two hygrometers at the same time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

First series had defects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After about three months, Andy Hostettler (co-owner) of NaniManu called me. \u201eVasilij, please take a look inside the humidor. Is the wood probably resinous?\u201c Of course I was startled, because resin on cigars and cigar boxes is not an option. I immediately inspected the humidor. Sure enough, both the filler and the body were very resinous. Fortunately, nothing happened to the cigars. They were wrapped in cellophane and three of them were slightly sticky. The entire humidor was of course replaced. Since then, no resin has reappeared anywhere. NaniManu solved the problem professionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Test
The first specimen had a lot of resin. The entire humidor was of course replaced.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The humidor is tight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fact that there is no lacquer at all means that these humidors are different to handle. The wood works more than the highly polished mass-produced humidors. During the almost 6-month test phase, which lasted from winter to early spring, the humidor was tight and there were no significant fluctuations in humidity. I tasted three cigars from the humidor in February. They were all moist enough, as you would expect. After a while, there was a small gap between the lid and the body. Andy mentioned in the interview that this can happen. But because the lid has a bottom edge, the humidor remains tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Test
The wood is left practically natural. This small gap in no way disturbs the correct humidity of the cigars inside.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Humidification with Boveda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a recess in the lid. You can place Boveda bags there. At the beginning of the test, I placed two Boveda bags with 72% each. During the dry room air in the heating months, this was not enough. The bottom layer in the humidor remained between 63-64%. I placed Cuban cigars there because they prefer less humidity to too much. On the upper level, the humidity was 68%. I therefore also placed a Boveda bag at the bottom; now the humidity on the lower level was 68% and on the upper level the humidity remained at 68%. The cigars therefore get enough humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Test
This lower edge closes the humidor, even if there is a minimal gap between the lid and the body.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, I can say that the humidor I tested works and fulfils its technical function of keeping the cigars moist. But it is much more than just a humidor. For me personally, it is a feast for the eyes. Its straightforward beauty makes it a marvellous feast for the eyes. I am delighted every time I see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
