I'm new to all this and have a question on aging in the humidor.

If I age Acids, with their distinct aroma, with other, more traditional gigars, am I asking for a humidor where Acids take over the rest?

All your other cigars will smell just like the acids. They have to be kept separate.

I dont like to come on here and dog someone for not doing a search first....but do a search..........

Better yet do this....

Put one of your ACID's in a ziplock bag with a non-ACID for 24 hrs. Take them out and just smell the non-ACID. Now you know.

jeezy peezy!

YES , including your humi will be forever Acid scented. I love acids! and have a seperate humi for just those. I have placed non acids in there to age on purpose to give them a slight hint of aroma on occassions 🙂

but the rule is NEVER mix...

Even just the band will smell up the place. I have a couple in my band container, (a smal cigar tin), and every time I open it, it smells like and Acid cigar.

I keep my Acid cigars in my dresser drawer so my uunderwear and socks will smell like them.

I'm sorry, but which will smell like which?

I've read that cigar separation is a myth and that your cigars WILL NOT blend and taste like eachother. ACID may be a different story.

It is a myth -- unless you're talking about cigars that have oils and stuff added to them. A friend of mine who owns a cigar shop once experimented with putting a baggy of black cavendish with some cigars - and they came out smelling like vanilla. Some people like the different aroma / flavor, but I wouldn't experiment like that in your humidor. Maybe put some stuff together in a rubbermaid container.

You are right, though -- a strong cigar and a mild cigar won't blend so long as they're both all tobacco.
