A couple more things for SteelGlaze and other n00bs reading this:
1. A lot of cigar guys use the (expensive) silica beads plus Boveda, I instead use (dirt-cheap) superabsorbent polymer and Boveda. I have used this combination for many years in a dozen large containers, and it works great. It's cheap, reliable and very easy!
2. Learn about, and experiment with, dryboxing cigars before smoking. This can be as simple as removing cello and setting the "bare" cigar on an end table for a few hours, a day, two days, etc. before smoking it. This tends to greatly improve many cigars, particularly if you store at the higher end of the usual RH% range. Dryboxing seems especially helpful with maduro-wrapped cigars, where it often means the difference between a badly-burning, tight-draw, overly-moist and bitter mess and a good-drawing, nicely-burning, delicious and well-behaved cigar with no excess moisture ruining the experience. Dryboxing seems less important with Habano, Connecticut and other wrappers, but still usually helps noticeably. Maduros are where I've seen the huge improvements though.
3. Experiment with running not-yet-cut cigars under a stream of running tap water, rotating the cigar along its long axis so the whole wrapper leaf gets covered in water, but always keeping the cigar pointed upward so no water gets in the foot. Then shake the excess water off, roll the cigar along a towel to remove more excess, then either wait a few minutes if you like, or immediately light up (your choice, both work). This changes the dynamics of the smoke quite a lot, often for the better. Burn tends to be better, wrapper cracks/flakes are essentially eliminated (because the wrapper leaf is much more pliable). This is especially good for winter smoking in cold, dry air, but try it in the other seasons too! It seems to somehow "amplify" the flavors with many (but not all) cigars. It can also be useful if you forget about a cigar you're dryboxing and it gets too dry. Wet, cut, light and you might have a heck of a good cigar.
Hope some of this helps!
