Cigars International Hamburg

PROJECT TYPE: Design Build
INDUSTRY TYPE: Commercial

Burkholder's HVAC built and installed a custom system for Cigars International designed to maintain a consistent level of humidity and temperature year-round.

Cigars International is a cigar retailer that sells handmade cigars, gifts, accessories, and more. Their 10,000 SF facility in Hamburg, Pennsylvania is America's largest freestanding cigar store. The building includes two bars, two floors of lounge areas, a conference room, and a retail area.

The store stocks a large inventory of cigars requiring a custom-built HVAC system that maintains a consistent humidity level and temperature year-round to keep the cigars fresh.

The system Burkholder's HVAC designed retains a consistent temperature of 70-degrees with 70% humidity year-round.

The system conditions 100% outside air which first runs through a 12,000 cfm heat wheel to conserve some of the building’s energy. It is heated with natural gas and cooled with 35 tons through 7 split DX units.
