is your cabinet a vigilante by chance? In my opinion keep the boxes shut. I mean in a closed box if any air can escape, what is it going to be replaced with? Humidified air! And Spanish cedar is perfect for aging. I rotate my boxes so that what is on the bottom part of the cabinet I smoke, and when I get a new box put it on the top shelf and it gradually works its way down to the lower shelfs where more humidity is present. The boxes I plan to box age for long periods stay in the bottom half of the cabinet.

it's an avallo ah-1200 end table humidor. don't ask how much i dropped for it.

Jazz ... I'd like to know how many 'gars it'll hold and whether it has Avalo's digital set point humidification system in it ... and if so, does it work really well?

steve, it's supposed to hold 1000 sticks, but i only have about 250 now. i've only had it for 3 days but so far so good on the digital set point humidification system.

Jazzman, you don't have time for yaking. Start bidding.

E-Chick has a few nice smokes maybe she would be willing to trade for one of the old humidors.

now, thats an idea

Bloom. The word is bloom.
If your cigar produces a plume, don't smoke it.

?????

... Bloom and Plume are one in the same, and what does this have to do with the topic, or did I miss something?

... just curious?

... on, I see now. You were referring to Rookies post.

Jazzman, don't listen to what any of these guys tell you. The only way you can be assured your cigars are handled properly is to send them all to ME. I guarantee they will receive the best professional care possible.
