A Humidifier is the apparatus which produces humidity inside of the Humidor.

The most important facet of Humidifier operation is to always use Distilled Water.  Anything less will clog your Humidifier over time and pose a bacterial hazard to your cigars.

The two general categories of Humidifiers are Active and Passive.  Active Humidifiers generally have a fan blowing on [or over] water to produce a mist that is absorbed into the air.  Active Humidifiers are common in walk-in humidors and large cabinets. 

Passive Humidifiers are intended for smaller humidification needs and have no electrical parts.  They work on simple evaporative and chemical equilibrium principles.  The following is an analysis and description of the different types of Passive Humidifiers available today.
