An apparatus for storing cigars includes a housing having a storage compartment and an atmospheric control system for controlling the temperature and humidity within the storage compartment. The housing is preferably a humidor having a storage compartment access lid and a compartment for retaining at least part of the atmospheric control system within the storage compartment. A perforated Spanish cedar board elevated from the baseboard in the storage compartment permits the circulation of humidity and heat. The atmospheric control system includes a power supply, a microcontroller for controlling the system, a sensor for sensing the humidity and temperature within the humidor and sending temperature and humidity readings to the microcontroller, and a vaporizer for producing humidity and a thermoelectric module for cooling and heating. Optionally, a display for displaying temperature and humidity conditions in the humidor and a lid-open sensor for deactivating the atmospheric control system when the lid is open may be provided.
