A humidor is provided with a body that includes a storage compartment therein that can retain an amount of a smoking material therein. A lid is engaged with the body in a manner to enclose the storage compartment in a manner that protects the smoking material positioned within the compartment. The lid includes a support surface located on one side of the lid that is exposed when the lid is disengaged from the body. The support surface provides an area in which the individual utilizing the smoking material can prepare the smoking material for use in close proximity to the storage container, thus facilitating the use of the smoking material.
