Problem
Traditional cigar humidors often occupy a large footprint, limiting inventory and display options for retailers with limited space. Maintaining optimal humidity and showcasing cigars effectively can also be challenging with conventional storage methods.
Solution
Tubeaux offers a patented vertical humidor system designed to maximize cigar inventory and enhance product display in retail environments. These humidors utilize a vertical orientation, allowing for a greater number of cigars to be stored and showcased in a smaller footprint. The system incorporates Boveda 2-way humidity control, ensuring freshness and optimal storage conditions. Tubeaux provides both countertop and freestanding models, with custom configurations available to fit specific retail spaces. The system can also retrofit existing humidors with vertical display modules and automatic product push mechanisms.
