ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for and method of imparting moisture to a cigar or tobacco product is a bio-humidor. The bio-humidor includes a moisture impervious housing configured to hold the cigar, a moisture impervious lid, and a moisture imparting element configured for storage in the housing with the cigar. In use, the cigar is placed inside the moisture impervious housing along with the moisture imparting element. The housing is then closed and sealed, such as by joining a zip-lock, closing a lid, threading a top, or inserting a stopper, such as a cork, into an opening. Moisture from the moisture imparting element will then pass to the cigar within the closed environment of the sealed housing and thereby maintain a fresh, moist cigar.
