Elevate the art of cigar tasting
Relative humidity of the air is old news. Go straight to the source—your cigar’s moisture. Simple. Smart. Precise.
H1: the first innovative device for cigar preservation & tasting
Gone are the days of relying solely on relative humidity and temperature. The H1 calculates the real Moisture Cigar Content (HMC2), ensuring superior preservation and tasting of your cigars.
H1: the new patented technology to secure the flavor of your cigar
H1 is equipped with specialized sensors within a thin needle designed to analyze the heart of the cigar.
H1: your new partner in cigar preservation and tasting
H1 provides tailored recommendations to optimize the preservation and tasting of your cigars.
Relative humidity, as indicated by your hygrometer, does not reflect the actual humidity of the air surrounding your cigars, as it varies with temperature. For example, air at a relative humidity of 70% contains 36% more humidity at 25°C (77°F) compared to 20°C (68°F).
Cigars are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air through a unique process that depends on factors such as temperature and the relative humidity of the surrounding air. Hulecos has developed the Hulecos Cigar Moisture Content (HMC2) model, which accurately reflects the moisture of the cigar leaves regardless of the temperature and relative humidity of the air.
The H1 displays the cigar’s moisture level (HMC2) using simple symbols:
Equipped with its humidor cap inside the humidor, the H1 calculates and displays the relative humidity (RH) level required to reach the desired HMC2 level (one, two, or three leaves) based on the current temperature inside the humidor. After collecting automatically the data (*) at 10, 20, or 30 minutes, the H1 will provide suggested adjustment settings.
• At the current temperature, how much relative humidity is needed to bring the cigar’s moisture up to the maximum admissible level?
H1: The premier assistant to analyze each cigar individually for optimal enjoyment (TASTING mode)
H1 allows you to test the preservation quality of each cigar in your humidor. Compare them to make better choices and adjust your humidor’s settings as needed.
H1 ensures that the cigar you are about to enjoy is maintained at the optimal moisture level for the best flavor and enjoyment.

Cigars have their own water interaction mechanism: they are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb water from the air into their leaves through a unique physicochemical process, much like a sponge.
Hulecos has tested various mathematical models to determine the water concentration in cigars and has established the optimal model, the Hulecos Cigar Moisture Content (HMC2).
Regardless of temperature and relative humidity, the HMC2 simply expresses the true preservation state of your cigars.
The temperature plays an important role, and is always combined with relative humidity to define the moisture content of cigar leaves. Furthermore, temperatures in excess of 24°C can lead to the development of ladybug eggs, which can have a devastating effect on your cigars.
The Hulecos Moisture Cigar Content calculates the EMC (Equilibrium Moisture Content) of the cigar. The EMC represents the water content that cigar leaves achieve when in equilibrium with the humidity of the surrounding air at a given temperature. The recommended EMC for cigars is typically between 12% and 15%, indicating that there are 12 to 15 grams of water for every 100 grams of cigar leaves.
Relative humidity measures the pressure of water vapor in relation to its saturation point. A relative humidity level of 70% indicates that the air contains 70% of the maximum amount of moisture it can hold before condensation occurs, while 100% relative humidity signifies that condensation (liquid water) has formed. The relative humidity of the air is one of the key parameters influencing the humidity of cigars and has historically been the most recognized factor for cigar preservation, even though it is not sufficient on its own to determine the moisture of cigars.
By choosing HULECOS certification, your establishment becomes a recognized HULECOS-certified space, demonstrating your commitment to unparalleled cigar preservation and offering exceptional quality and experiences to your customers.
Additionally, you join our network of resellers.
The Cigar Smoking World Championship (CSWC), which takes place in over 50 countries, is the only tournament to bring together cigar enthusiasts from all over the world. HULECOS ensures perfect fairness in terms of cigar storage conditions, guaranteeing the integrity of the competition.

Elevate the art of cigar tasting
Relative humidity of the air is old news. Go straight to the source—your cigar’s moisture. Simple. Smart. Precise.
H1: the first innovative device for cigar preservation & tasting
Gone are the days of relying solely on relative humidity and temperature. The H1 calculates the real Moisture Cigar Content (HMC2), ensuring superior preservation and tasting of your cigars.
H1: the new patented technology to secure the flavor of your cigar
H1 is equipped with specialized sensors within a thin needle designed to analyze the heart of the cigar.
H1: your new partner in cigar preservation and tasting
H1 provides tailored recommendations to optimize the preservation and tasting of your cigars.
Relative humidity, as indicated by your hygrometer, does not reflect the actual humidity of the air surrounding your cigars, as it varies with temperature. For example, air at a relative humidity of 70% contains 36% more humidity at 25°C (77°F) compared to 20°C (68°F).
Cigars are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air through a unique process that depends on factors such as temperature and the relative humidity of the surrounding air. Hulecos has developed the Hulecos Cigar Moisture Content (HMC2) model, which accurately reflects the moisture of the cigar leaves regardless of the temperature and relative humidity of the air.
The H1 displays the cigar’s moisture level (HMC2) using simple symbols:
Equipped with its humidor cap inside the humidor, the H1 calculates and displays the relative humidity (RH) level required to reach the desired HMC2 level (one, two, or three leaves) based on the current temperature inside the humidor. After collecting automatically the data (*) at 10, 20, or 30 minutes, the H1 will provide suggested adjustment settings.
• At the current temperature, how much relative humidity is needed to bring the cigar’s moisture up to the maximum admissible level?
H1: The premier assistant to analyze each cigar individually for optimal enjoyment (TASTING mode)
H1 allows you to test the preservation quality of each cigar in your humidor. Compare them to make better choices and adjust your humidor’s settings as needed.
H1 ensures that the cigar you are about to enjoy is maintained at the optimal moisture level for the best flavor and enjoyment.

Cigars have their own water interaction mechanism: they are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb water from the air into their leaves through a unique physicochemical process, much like a sponge.
Hulecos has tested various mathematical models to determine the water concentration in cigars and has established the optimal model, the Hulecos Cigar Moisture Content (HMC2).
Regardless of temperature and relative humidity, the HMC2 simply expresses the true preservation state of your cigars.
The temperature plays an important role, and is always combined with relative humidity to define the moisture content of cigar leaves. Furthermore, temperatures in excess of 24°C can lead to the development of ladybug eggs, which can have a devastating effect on your cigars.
The Hulecos Moisture Cigar Content calculates the EMC (Equilibrium Moisture Content) of the cigar. The EMC represents the water content that cigar leaves achieve when in equilibrium with the humidity of the surrounding air at a given temperature. The recommended EMC for cigars is typically between 12% and 15%, indicating that there are 12 to 15 grams of water for every 100 grams of cigar leaves.
Relative humidity measures the pressure of water vapor in relation to its saturation point. A relative humidity level of 70% indicates that the air contains 70% of the maximum amount of moisture it can hold before condensation occurs, while 100% relative humidity signifies that condensation (liquid water) has formed. The relative humidity of the air is one of the key parameters influencing the humidity of cigars and has historically been the most recognized factor for cigar preservation, even though it is not sufficient on its own to determine the moisture of cigars.
By choosing HULECOS certification, your establishment becomes a recognized HULECOS-certified space, demonstrating your commitment to unparalleled cigar preservation and offering exceptional quality and experiences to your customers.
Additionally, you join our network of resellers.
The Cigar Smoking World Championship (CSWC), which takes place in over 50 countries, is the only tournament to bring together cigar enthusiasts from all over the world. HULECOS ensures perfect fairness in terms of cigar storage conditions, guaranteeing the integrity of the competition.

Elevate the art of cigar tasting
Relative humidity of the air is old news. Go straight to the source—your cigar’s moisture. Simple. Smart. Precise.
H1: the first innovative device for cigar preservation & tasting
Gone are the days of relying solely on relative humidity and temperature. The H1 calculates the real Moisture Cigar Content (HMC2), ensuring superior preservation and tasting of your cigars.
H1: the new patented technology to secure the flavor of your cigar
H1 is equipped with specialized sensors within a thin needle designed to analyze the heart of the cigar.
H1: your new partner in cigar preservation and tasting
H1 provides tailored recommendations to optimize the preservation and tasting of your cigars.
Relative humidity, as indicated by your hygrometer, does not reflect the actual humidity of the air surrounding your cigars, as it varies with temperature. For example, air at a relative humidity of 70% contains 36% more humidity at 25°C (77°F) compared to 20°C (68°F).
Cigars are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air through a unique process that depends on factors such as temperature and the relative humidity of the surrounding air. Hulecos has developed the Hulecos Cigar Moisture Content (HMC2) model, which accurately reflects the moisture of the cigar leaves regardless of the temperature and relative humidity of the air.
The H1 displays the cigar’s moisture level (HMC2) using simple symbols:
Equipped with its humidor cap inside the humidor, the H1 calculates and displays the relative humidity (RH) level required to reach the desired HMC2 level (one, two, or three leaves) based on the current temperature inside the humidor. After collecting automatically the data (*) at 10, 20, or 30 minutes, the H1 will provide suggested adjustment settings.
• At the current temperature, how much relative humidity is needed to bring the cigar’s moisture up to the maximum admissible level?
H1: The premier assistant to analyze each cigar individually for optimal enjoyment (TASTING mode)
H1 allows you to test the preservation quality of each cigar in your humidor. Compare them to make better choices and adjust your humidor’s settings as needed.
H1 ensures that the cigar you are about to enjoy is maintained at the optimal moisture level for the best flavor and enjoyment.

Cigars have their own water interaction mechanism: they are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb water from the air into their leaves through a unique physicochemical process, much like a sponge.
Hulecos has tested various mathematical models to determine the water concentration in cigars and has established the optimal model, the Hulecos Cigar Moisture Content (HMC2).
Regardless of temperature and relative humidity, the HMC2 simply expresses the true preservation state of your cigars.
The temperature plays an important role, and is always combined with relative humidity to define the moisture content of cigar leaves. Furthermore, temperatures in excess of 24°C can lead to the development of ladybug eggs, which can have a devastating effect on your cigars.
The Hulecos Moisture Cigar Content calculates the EMC (Equilibrium Moisture Content) of the cigar. The EMC represents the water content that cigar leaves achieve when in equilibrium with the humidity of the surrounding air at a given temperature. The recommended EMC for cigars is typically between 12% and 15%, indicating that there are 12 to 15 grams of water for every 100 grams of cigar leaves.
Relative humidity measures the pressure of water vapor in relation to its saturation point. A relative humidity level of 70% indicates that the air contains 70% of the maximum amount of moisture it can hold before condensation occurs, while 100% relative humidity signifies that condensation (liquid water) has formed. The relative humidity of the air is one of the key parameters influencing the humidity of cigars and has historically been the most recognized factor for cigar preservation, even though it is not sufficient on its own to determine the moisture of cigars.
By choosing HULECOS certification, your establishment becomes a recognized HULECOS-certified space, demonstrating your commitment to unparalleled cigar preservation and offering exceptional quality and experiences to your customers.
Additionally, you join our network of resellers.
The Cigar Smoking World Championship (CSWC), which takes place in over 50 countries, is the only tournament to bring together cigar enthusiasts from all over the world. HULECOS ensures perfect fairness in terms of cigar storage conditions, guaranteeing the integrity of the competition.

The recommended EMC for cigars is typically between 12% and 15%, indicating that there are 12 to 15 grams of water for every 100 grams of cigar leaves.
Relative humidity measures the pressure of water vapor in relation to its saturation point. A relative humidity level of 70% indicates that the air contains 70% of the maximum amount of moisture it can hold before condensation occurs, while 100% relative humidity signifies that condensation (liquid water) has formed. The relative humidity of the air is one of the key parameters influencing the humidity of cigars and has historically been the most recognized factor for cigar preservation, even though it is not sufficient on its own to determine the moisture of cigars.
By choosing HULECOS certification, your establishment becomes a recognized HULECOS-certified space, demonstrating your commitment to unparalleled cigar preservation and offering exceptional quality and experiences to your customers.
Additionally, you join our network of resellers.
The Cigar Smoking World Championship (CSWC), which takes place in over 50 countries, is the only tournament to bring together cigar enthusiasts from all over the world. HULECOS ensures perfect fairness in terms of cigar storage conditions, guaranteeing the integrity of the competition.

Elevate the art of cigar tasting
Relative humidity of the air is old news. Go straight to the source—your cigar’s moisture. Simple. Smart. Precise.
H1: the first innovative device for cigar preservation & tasting
Gone are the days of relying solely on relative humidity and temperature. The H1 calculates the real Moisture Cigar Content (HMC2), ensuring superior preservation and tasting of your cigars.
H1: the new patented technology to secure the flavor of your cigar
H1 is equipped with specialized sensors within a thin needle designed to analyze the heart of the cigar.
H1: your new partner in cigar preservation and tasting
H1 provides tailored recommendations to optimize the preservation and tasting of your cigars.
Relative humidity, as indicated by your hygrometer, does not reflect the actual humidity of the air surrounding your cigars, as it varies with temperature. For example, air at a relative humidity of 70% contains 36% more humidity at 25°C (77°F) compared to 20°C (68°F).
Cigars are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air through a unique process that depends on factors such as temperature and the relative humidity of the surrounding air. Hulecos has developed the Hulecos Cigar Moisture Content (HMC2) model, which accurately reflects the moisture of the cigar leaves regardless of the temperature and relative humidity of the air.
The H1 displays the cigar’s moisture level (HMC2) using simple symbols:
Equipped with its humidor cap inside the humidor, the H1 calculates and displays the relative humidity (RH) level required to reach the desired HMC2 level (one, two, or three leaves) based on the current temperature inside the humidor. After collecting automatically the data (*) at 10, 20, or 30 minutes, the H1 will provide suggested adjustment settings.
• At the current temperature, how much relative humidity is needed to bring the cigar’s moisture up to the maximum admissible level?
H1: The premier assistant to analyze each cigar individually for optimal enjoyment (TASTING mode)
H1 allows you to test the preservation quality of each cigar in your humidor. Compare them to make better choices and adjust your humidor’s settings as needed.
H1 ensures that the cigar you are about to enjoy is maintained at the optimal moisture level for the best flavor and enjoyment.

Cigars have their own water interaction mechanism: they are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb water from the air into their leaves through a unique physicochemical process, much like a sponge.
Hulecos has tested various mathematical models to determine the water concentration in cigars and has established the optimal model, the Hulecos Cigar Moisture Content (HMC2).
Regardless of temperature and relative humidity, the HMC2 simply expresses the true preservation state of your cigars.
The temperature plays an important role, and is always combined with relative humidity to define the moisture content of cigar leaves. Furthermore, temperatures in excess of 24°C can lead to the development of ladybug eggs, which can have a devastating effect on your cigars.

Hulecos has tested various mathematical models to determine the water concentration in cigars and has established the optimal model, the Hulecos Cigar Moisture Content (HMC2).
Regardless of temperature and relative humidity, the HMC2 simply expresses the true preservation state of your cigars.
The temperature plays an important role, and is always combined with relative humidity to define the moisture content of cigar leaves. Furthermore, temperatures in excess of 24°C can lead to the development of ladybug eggs, which can have a devastating effect on your cigars.
The Hulecos Moisture Cigar Content calculates the EMC (Equilibrium Moisture Content) of the cigar. The EMC represents the water content that cigar leaves achieve when in equilibrium with the humidity of the surrounding air at a given temperature. The recommended EMC for cigars is typically between 12% and 15%, indicating that there are 12 to 15 grams of water for every 100 grams of cigar leaves.
Relative humidity measures the pressure of water vapor in relation to its saturation point. A relative humidity level of 70% indicates that the air contains 70% of the maximum amount of moisture it can hold before condensation occurs, while 100% relative humidity signifies that condensation (liquid water) has formed. The relative humidity of the air is one of the key parameters influencing the humidity of cigars and has historically been the most recognized factor for cigar preservation, even though it is not sufficient on its own to determine the moisture of cigars.
By choosing HULECOS certification, your establishment becomes a recognized HULECOS-certified space, demonstrating your commitment to unparalleled cigar preservation and offering exceptional quality and experiences to your customers.
Additionally, you join our network of resellers.
The Cigar Smoking World Championship (CSWC), which takes place in over 50 countries, is the only tournament to bring together cigar enthusiasts from all over the world. HULECOS ensures perfect fairness in terms of cigar storage conditions, guaranteeing the integrity of the competition.

Elevate the art of cigar tasting
Relative humidity of the air is old news. Go straight to the source—your cigar’s moisture. Simple. Smart. Precise.
H1: the first innovative device for cigar preservation & tasting
Gone are the days of relying solely on relative humidity and temperature. The H1 calculates the real Moisture Cigar Content (HMC2), ensuring superior preservation and tasting of your cigars.
H1: the new patented technology to secure the flavor of your cigar
H1 is equipped with specialized sensors within a thin needle designed to analyze the heart of the cigar.
H1: your new partner in cigar preservation and tasting
H1 provides tailored recommendations to optimize the preservation and tasting of your cigars.
Relative humidity, as indicated by your hygrometer, does not reflect the actual humidity of the air surrounding your cigars, as it varies with temperature. For example, air at a relative humidity of 70% contains 36% more humidity at 25°C (77°F) compared to 20°C (68°F).
Cigars are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb moisture from the air through a unique process that depends on factors such as temperature and the relative humidity of the surrounding air. Hulecos has developed the Hulecos Cigar Moisture Content (HMC2) model, which accurately reflects the moisture of the cigar leaves regardless of the temperature and relative humidity of the air.
The H1 displays the cigar’s moisture level (HMC2) using simple symbols:
Equipped with its humidor cap inside the humidor, the H1 calculates and displays the relative humidity (RH) level required to reach the desired HMC2 level (one, two, or three leaves) based on the current temperature inside the humidor. After collecting automatically the data (*) at 10, 20, or 30 minutes, the H1 will provide suggested adjustment settings.
• At the current temperature, how much relative humidity is needed to bring the cigar’s moisture up to the maximum admissible level?
H1: The premier assistant to analyze each cigar individually for optimal enjoyment (TASTING mode)
H1 allows you to test the preservation quality of each cigar in your humidor. Compare them to make better choices and adjust your humidor’s settings as needed.
H1 ensures that the cigar you are about to enjoy is maintained at the optimal moisture level for the best flavor and enjoyment.

Equipped with its humidor cap inside the humidor, the H1 calculates and displays the relative humidity (RH) level required to reach the desired HMC2 level (one, two, or three leaves) based on the current temperature inside the humidor. After collecting automatically the data (*) at 10, 20, or 30 minutes, the H1 will provide suggested adjustment settings.
• At the current temperature, how much relative humidity is needed to bring the cigar’s moisture up to the maximum admissible level?
H1: The premier assistant to analyze each cigar individually for optimal enjoyment (TASTING mode)
H1 allows you to test the preservation quality of each cigar in your humidor. Compare them to make better choices and adjust your humidor’s settings as needed.
H1 ensures that the cigar you are about to enjoy is maintained at the optimal moisture level for the best flavor and enjoyment.

Cigars have their own water interaction mechanism: they are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb water from the air into their leaves through a unique physicochemical process, much like a sponge.
Hulecos has tested various mathematical models to determine the water concentration in cigars and has established the optimal model, the Hulecos Cigar Moisture Content (HMC2).
Regardless of temperature and relative humidity, the HMC2 simply expresses the true preservation state of your cigars.
The temperature plays an important role, and is always combined with relative humidity to define the moisture content of cigar leaves. Furthermore, temperatures in excess of 24°C can lead to the development of ladybug eggs, which can have a devastating effect on your cigars.
The Hulecos Moisture Cigar Content calculates the EMC (Equilibrium Moisture Content) of the cigar. The EMC represents the water content that cigar leaves achieve when in equilibrium with the humidity of the surrounding air at a given temperature. The recommended EMC for cigars is typically between 12% and 15%, indicating that there are 12 to 15 grams of water for every 100 grams of cigar leaves.
Relative humidity measures the pressure of water vapor in relation to its saturation point. A relative humidity level of 70% indicates that the air contains 70% of the maximum amount of moisture it can hold before condensation occurs, while 100% relative humidity signifies that condensation (liquid water) has formed. The relative humidity of the air is one of the key parameters influencing the humidity of cigars and has historically been the most recognized factor for cigar preservation, even though it is not sufficient on its own to determine the moisture of cigars.
By choosing HULECOS certification, your establishment becomes a recognized HULECOS-certified space, demonstrating your commitment to unparalleled cigar preservation and offering exceptional quality and experiences to your customers.

Relative humidity of the air is old news. Go straight to the source—your cigar’s moisture. Simple. Smart. Precise.
H1: the first innovative device for cigar preservation & tasting
Gone are the days of relying solely on relative humidity and temperature. The H1 calculates the real Moisture Cigar Content (HMC2), ensuring superior preservation and tasting of your cigars.
H1: the new patented technology to secure the flavor of your cigar
H1 is equipped with specialized sensors within a thin needle designed to analyze the heart of the cigar.
H1: your new partner in cigar preservation and tasting
H1 provides tailored recommendations to optimize the preservation and tasting of your cigars.
Relative humidity, as indicated by your hygrometer, does not reflect the actual humidity of the air surrounding your cigars, as it varies with temperature. For example, air at a relative humidity of 70% contains 36% more humidity at 25°C (77°F) compared to 20°C (68°F).
