RIGID BOX FOR SMOKING ARTICLES AND RESPECTIVE PRODUCTION METHOD
Rigid box for smoking articles having a parallelepiped shape and provided with: a first panel which defines a top wall; a second panel which is hinged to the first panel, folded 90 with respect to the first panel and defines a first lateral wall; a third panel which is hinged to the second panel, folded 90 with respect to the second panel and defines a bottom wall; a fourth panel which is hinged to the third panel, folded 90 with respect to the third panel and defines a second lateral wall opposite the first lateral wall; a fifth panel which is hinged to the fourth panel, is folded 90 with respect to the fourth panel and rests on and is glued to an inner surface of the first panel; a sixth panel which is hinged to the fifth panel, is folded 90 with respect to the fifth panel and divides the inner volume of the rigid box in two adjacent chambers; and a seventh panel which is hinged to the sixth panel, is folded 90 with respect to the sixth panel and rests on and is glued to an inner surface of the third panel.
PORTABLE HUMIDOR
A portable humidor includes a hollow rectangular housing defining an open upper end, a lower end, and an interior space in which a plurality of cigars is receivable. A follower in the interior space is configured to bias the plurality of cigars toward the open upper end of the housing. A cap is configured to releasably close the open upper end of the housing around the plurality of cigars. The follower, cap, or housing defines a compartment in which a humidifier is receivable to regulate humidity in the interior space when the cap closes the open upper end of the housing. The assembled portable humidor resembles a magazine for a firearm.

Smoking article and method
A smoking article provides one or more sheets of material that can be rolled and packaged, at least one sheet including cellulose. In one embodiment, cellulose and tobacco sheet material are separately rolled layers that can optionally be wrapped around a form casing (or pre-rolled inside) and then packaged. In another embodiment, the sheet is a laminated sheet of tobacco and cellulose layers that can be optionally wrapped around (or pre-rolled inside) a form casing. These sheets can be filled with custom tobacco to make one or more new cigars for an end user. In another embodiment, a complete cigar filled with tobacco material can be disassembled by an end user to produce tobacco and cellulose sheets, enabling the end user to form two new cigars using his or her own custom tobacco.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MONITORING AIRING EVENTS IN HUMIDORS
Methods and apparatus are described herein related to an environmental monitoring system configured to avoid spoilage of goods by alerting a supervisor to hazardous conditions. A cigar humidor may be monitored by placing a cigar-shaped and cigar-sized sensor-equipped component made from metal or cedar wood inside the humidor amongst the cigars. The sensors monitor a plurality of parameters, of which relative humidity is of particular importance for cigar humidors. One hazardous condition, which is tracked by the system is the absence of an airing event for a period greater than a pre-configured interval. Once an airing event has been absent for a long enough time period, either a pre-alert or a full alert is being issued. The system offers multiple alternative ways of detecting airing events including time series anomaly discovery algorithms with grammar-based compression.
