Humidor Bocote for Lacquered Bar Cabinet
Made to order as part of the Litolite Bar Cabinet system.
This humidor insert is crafted to commission and configured together with your Lacquered Bar Cabinet, so the design is finalised with you before production. To reserve yours or discuss the configuration, contact us at info@litolite.com. We will guide you through materials, timing and delivery personally.
Bocote is a fine tropical hardwood valued for its dramatic grain, ranging from warm yellow to deep brown, and for its natural durability. Sourced from responsibly managed forests, it forms the humidor insert designed to pair with the Litolite Lacquered Bar Cabinet, though it stands beautifully on its own too.
Sized for a collection, not for a desk
The stated capacity of 150+ is measured on a standard Robusto. Larger ring gauges bring the count down, while Coronas and Panetelas bring it up. At this volume the humidor holds what you are ageing alongside what you are smoking this month, which is the point at which a desk box stops being enough. The drawer fronts are cut from solid oak rather than veneered panel, so they stay flat over years of humid air on one face and dry room air on the other.
The system inside
Humidification runs on Boveda packs, which work in two directions, releasing moisture when the interior dries and absorbing it when the level climbs, so the humidity holds steady instead of cycling. There is no distilled water to top up and no sponge to clean: you replace the packs when they begin to stiffen, typically every two to four months depending on how often the door is opened. An automatic ventilation system circulates that humidity so the cigars at the back sit in the same air as the ones at the front, and internal LED lighting turns the interior into a display the moment it opens.
Capacity and care
Keep the humidor below roughly 21 °C and out of direct sun. Above about 24 °C the eggs of the tobacco beetle can hatch inside a cigar, which is the one failure that costs you a whole box, so avoid siting it against a radiator or an exterior wall that warms up in the afternoon. The wood itself asks for nothing beyond an occasional wipe with a dry cloth, with no solvents and no polish.
Designed to sit on the Litolite Bar Cabinet
This humidor is conceived as the top element of a complete bar system. The Lacquered Bar Cabinet below holds your bottles, glassware and accessories, while the humidor rests on top, uniting cigars and spirits in a single piece of furniture. Together they turn a corner of a room into a dedicated space for the ritual.
A furniture workshop, not just a humidor maker
Litolite is an Italian manufacturer that produces bespoke and contract furniture alongside its humidors.

Frequently asked questions
How many cigars does it hold?
Around 150+ cigars, measured on a standard Robusto. Larger ring gauges bring the count down, while slimmer vitolas bring it up.
Is it made to order?
Yes. Each insert is made to commission and configured with you before production, and ships in about 6 to 8 weeks. To reserve or configure yours, write to info@litolite.com.
Does it have to sit on the Bar Cabinet?
It is designed to pair with the Litolite Lacquered Bar Cabinet, but it stands beautifully on its own too.
Do I need to add water?
No. Humidity is handled by two-way Boveda packs, so there is no water to fill. You replace the packs when they stiffen, typically every two to four months.
Will it look exactly like the photos?
No. Natural wood varies from piece to piece, so your humidor will differ from the images and from every other one we make.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Each humidor is handcrafted in Italy using traditional joinery, marble sculpting, and wood finishing techniques. No two pieces are exactly alike.
