Humidor question - how many cigars will it hold?
I am not an expert on humidors, but I am selling one for my uncle on Ebay... I recently received a question about how many cigars it holds... I can tell you the dimensions: 15 inches long, 10 inches wide, and stands about 7.5 inches tall. It does have a tray at the top. Which is only about an inch and a half deep. Please- only knowledgeable persons should answer. Thank you!
Answers: Cigars come in all shapes and sizes. It will hold dozens and dozens of cigarellos, a lesser number of panatelas, and so on. For instance, in the parejo class, there are a couple dozen sizes:
Coronas
Rothschilds 4 1/2"
Robusto 4 7/8"
Hermosos No. 4 5"
Mareva/Petit Corona 5 1/8"
Corona 5 1/2"
Corona Gorda 5 5/8"
Toro 6"
Corona Grande 6 1/8"
Cervantes/Lonsdale 6 1/2"
Dalia 6 3/4"
Julieta, also known as Churchill 7"
Prominente/Double Corona 7 5/8"
Presidente 8"
Gran Corona ("A") 9 1/4"
Panatelas – longer and generally thinner than Coronas
Small Panatela 5"
Carlota 5 5/8"
Short Panatela 5"
Slim Panatela 6"
Panatela 6"
Deliciados/Laguito No. 1 7 1/4"
You get the idea. And parejos are only one of several classes of cigar. For a humidor with Exterior Dimensions - 15 1/4" LEN 9 1/4" W 6 1/4" H it would hold 75 Churchill Cigars , so the one you have should be just about the same.
