How many cigars does the BastionBloc hold?

With its roughly 13.9 by 9.1 inch interior footprint and 5.2 inch height, it holds a single layer of standard cigars, in the range of 25 to 50 depending on ring gauge. Larger vitolas like double coronas reduce that count.

Do I need to season it before use?

Yes. Wipe the Spanish cedar interior with distilled water or place a humidification source inside and let it stabilize for several days before adding cigars. Skipping this lets the wood pull moisture from your cigars.

Does it come with a humidifier and hygrometer?

Prestige humidors typically ship with a basic humidifier and an analog hygrometer. Many owners replace the hygrometer with a digital one for accuracy.

Is it good for long-term aging?

It works for keeping cigars at smoking humidity, but its small size and single-layer layout make it less suited to long-term aging than a large cabinet humidor with trays.

Where should I place it?

Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources and air vents. Stable room temperature matters more than the exact spot, and the lacquer finish is easier to keep clean on a shelf than near a kitchen.
