1. Why is the drawer material made of acrylic instead of tempered glass like the cabinet door?
We understand that some customers might wonder why we’ve chosen acrylic for the drawers instead of tempered glass. Let us explain why this material choice is both intentional and beneficial for your cigar storage needs.
- Light Transmission: One key reason we use acrylic is its exceptional light transmission. Acrylic typically has a light transmittance of around 92-93%, compared to tempered glass, which generally allows 80-85% light transmittance. This means that acrylic offers a clearer, brighter view of your cigars, making it easier to admire your collection in the cabinet.
- Durability and Safety: While acrylic is a more lightweight and impact-resistant material, we’ve selected high-quality acrylic that undergoes special treatments for superior durability. In fact, this acrylic is more scratch-resistant than typical acrylic sheets. For safety, we’ve also added rounded corners (chamfered edges), which prevent sharp edges that could potentially cause injury, a concern often associated with glass products.
- Premium Quality and Details: While acrylic may not always be more expensive than glass, the high-grade acrylic we use—combined with detailed craftsmanship—is more expensive than standard tempered glass. The acrylic we select is of premium quality, ensuring a crystal-clear appearance and providing the best balance of light clarity, strength, and cost efficiency.
In conclusion, while tempered glass is certainly a popular choice, the acrylic in our drawers provides better visual appeal, greater durability, and higher light transmittance—all while maintaining an elevated level of safety and luxury that is crucial for the high-quality standards of Vastony.
2. How do I maintain the humidity level in my Vastony Cigar Cabinet?
Maintaining the right humidity is essential for preserving the flavor and quality of your cigars, and Vastony makes it easy to achieve the ideal conditions. Our cigar cabinets are designed with excellent sealing—featuring hidden magnetic doors and 7-pin hinges, so there's no need for rubber seals that could disrupt the overall aesthetic.
To help you maintain the perfect humidity level, we recommend the following:
- Keep the humidity level between 65-75% for optimal cigar preservation. This range ensures that your cigars stay fresh and retain their flavor.
- Use distilled water in the humidification system. Distilled water helps prevent mineral build-up, which could affect both the cabinet’s performance and the flavor of your cigars.
- Regularly check and recalibrate the hygrometer to ensure it is providing accurate readings. Our high-precision digital hygrometers are designed to reflect the interior conditions accurately, but it's always good to verify and adjust periodically.
For beginners, we also recommend using Boveda humidification packs to control humidity. These packs are a simple and reliable solution for maintaining the desired humidity level without having to worry about the complexities of using distilled water. With Boveda, you can achieve consistent results with minimal effort.
3. How many cigars can I store in a Vastony Cigar Cabinet?
The storage capacity depends on the size of the cabinet you choose. On average, our medium-sized cabinets can hold approximately 100-150 cigars. For larger cabinets, this number can increase significantly. Each cabinet has a spacious interior with adjustable shelves, so you can organize your cigars to suit your preferences.
4. How long will my cigars stay fresh in a Vastony Cigar Cabinet?
When properly maintained, your cigars will remain in perfect condition for months or even years inside a Vastony Cigar Cabinet. The key to keeping your cigars fresh is consistent temperature and humidity, both of which our cabinets are designed to regulate automatically.
The Peruvian cedar wood used in the drawers helps absorb excess moisture, keeping the environment ideal for storing cigars. The cedar also enhances the flavor of your cigars, allowing them to mature and develop their full potential.
By maintaining optimal conditions, your cigars will stay fresh, flavorful, and ready to enjoy at any time.
5. What materials are used in the construction of the Vastony Cigar Cabinet?
The Vastony Cigar Cabinet is built with premium materials that ensure both durability and aesthetic appeal:
- Cabinet Shell: The outer shell of the cabinet is made from P2-grade MDF, which is a sturdy and reliable material that offers structural integrity and strength.
- Interior Drawers & Door Seals: The drawers and door seals are crafted from premium Peruvian cedar wood, which is renowned for its ability to control humidity and enhance the aging process of cigars. Cedar also helps to regulate moisture levels, ensuring that your cigars stay fresh and flavorful.
- Exterior Finish: The exterior is finished with black lacquer or a walnut veneer, both of which provide a sophisticated, luxurious appearance. These finishes also help to protect the cabinet while giving it a refined, timeless look.
- Hardware: The hardware, including handles and hinges, is made of gold-plated metal, adding a touch of elegance and matching the cabinet's luxurious aesthetic.
- LED Lighting: The cabinet features energy-efficient LED lighting that produces no heat, ensuring your cigars are not exposed to temperature fluctuations. The hidden lighting design highlights the beauty of your cigars without disrupting the visual appeal of the cabinet.
All materials used in the construction of the Vastony Cigar Cabinet meet strict safety standards, ensuring that there are no toxic substances present and that your cigars' flavor and quality remain intact.
