since the moisture in the cigars tends to settle, we usually stir the humidor.

cigar boxes in stores are set on the bottom of the box for display and ease of handeling. unless there is a quick turnover, the moisture will settle possibly giving a canoing efect.

i have taken to storing my unopened boxes and my bundles head down. the moisture should tend to settle below the foot leaving an equal moisture throught the cigar from the below the foot to the head.

so, what do you all think?

I'm dizzy!

Even if it was sarcasm, what the hell, I'll chime in. Humidity, last I checked my engineering books, has no significant weight. On a day with 95% humidity, based on your logic, it should be more humid near the ground. Yet clouds, which often are near 100% just before it rains don't fall to the ground.

In a sealed room with constant temperature, the relative humidity is nearly constant at every point in the room. But, since temperature is the hardest to control, particularly in your home, a sudden change in temperature with high humidity can cause moisture to form (like on the mirror of your bathroom when you take a shower in the morning.) If that has happened, Rick's analysis is pretty good, moisture particles (H2O) do have weight and will travel due to gravity.

I'm exhausted - homeroom is over, now get to your first class.

Thanks GONZ !! now the reaaaallll test:

* If a frog had wings, would it bump its arse?
* What really happens if you remove the Do Not Remove tag on your mattress?
* If you are driving your car at the speed of light, and you reach over to turn on your lights (because it's getting dark...) what really happens?

Rick, if there is a migration of moisture within your cigars, you are in trouble. My point: the humidity used to keep cigars fresh (70/70 environment) does NOT have a relative density high enough to cause condensation or gravity effected liquid properities. Remember, we are talking about cigars not rockets, so there is a point at which we are "tapped" on the technical elements/topics of them.....you are thinking too much (Hamlet Syndrome).

I rotate cigars around in humidors, but do not know that that is a good thing or not! I have read different opinions on the subject...like cello on or off (OhmyGod, did I say that?)!

Marla, I would love to say anything to your boobs!!!

On a serious note. I keep hydros on the top and bottom of my cabinet humidor and have noticed a difference of about 3% to 5%. I installed a computer fan and they read the same now.

yeah, and how many licks does it take to eat a Tootsie Roll Pop Drop.

Rick, sounds like you have too many cigars. Send some my way:-)

BTW, urban legends or not, I rotate mine and put the top row on the bottom and bottom on top to help.
I have noticed the ones closest to the oasis tends to wick up more than the others.

There once was a hermit named dave
who kept a dead whore in his cave.
He said, "I know it looks bad, what with all the fun I've had.
But look at the money I've saved."

did someone say poem?

There once was a fella named Skinner
Who took a young lady to dinner
At a quarter to nine
They started to dine
At a quarter to ten it was in her








Not Skinner! The dinner!
