  • Patent number: 5893454
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a tubular humidor with a mechanism for retrieving cigars stored therein. The tubular humidor includes a tubular member having an open end and a closed end and a mechanism for covering the open end of the tubular member, thereby isolating the interior of the tubular humidor from the ambient environmental conditions. The retrieval mechanism is inserted into the tubular humidor concurrently with the cigars to be stored therein. When the covering mechanism is disengaged and pulled away from the open end of the tubular humidor, the retrieval mechanism biases the cigars through the open end for retrieval by the cigar smoker. The tubular humidor further comprises a replaceable humidifier which may be an integral component of the retrieval mechanism.
