I always heard storing cigars (unwrapped) next to each other can affect the flavors of each over time. So how do you store your cigars when you nave many different singles, unwrapped and one or two humidors? It seems virtually impossible to be able to really keep them all apart. Do you cello them all? Advice?

How they come. If you want to hasten aging, take the cellos off a couple and keep where they won't get jostled around. Keep the rest wrapped and allow to age as the manufacturer intended.

With Habanos, the decision is made for you.

Thanks lou3row for an actual answer, I appreciate it. I only asked because many came without the cello.

.....My two main bodies of storage are my old 50 count box and a newer 125 count box. I store ALL my current favorites in them naked. Have at least five cigars, or more of the following lines, AVE MARIA, SAN MIGUEL, MORRO CASTLE, NICA LIBRE, CUBAO, OLIVEROS KING HAVANA MADURO, FUERTE, and OSCURO, LA PERLA HABANA, DIESEL UNLIMITED, EST.1844, GRAYCLIFF TURBO, PADILLA SERIE '68, PADILLA MIAMI, PADILLA OBSIDIAN, OLIVEROS EIGHT ZERO, PINAR DEL RIO OSCURO, LA PERLA HABANA CLASSIC MADURO, CUBA ALIADOS MADURO, CUBA LIBRE ONE, OBISDIAN, and 2 or 3 each of GURKHA CREST, VINTAGE 2001, TITAN, BEAST, and 1 or 2 of maybe a dozen other lines, together with only their cigar band for protection.

.....Some have been in their for over 6 month. Most at least for 2 to 3 months. I carefully dig out one from under dozens, and it tastes great. I take one off the top, it tastes great. FACT IS, the only cigars that should NOT be stored with other cigars are flavored or infused jobs. And since I have found few that I like, I never have them on hand anyway.

.....Have about 15 different lines, maybe 60 cigars total of lighter Connecticut wrapped jobs, divided in no special way in three, 25 count boxes. They always taste great as well. Have had Connecticut's resting with maduros before as well, and just after a week, the lighter shade sticks always get a nice, spicy note added to their creamy smooth flavor base. I keep the 15 or so I plan to torch SOON in one single cigar jar, which is a PERFECT storage option. Always have 3 or 4 different lines in their for weeks sometimes.

.....But I also know, and have read countless times, if you plan to let your sticks age for more then 6 months you should ALWAYS leave the cello wrap on. While they age a lot slower then naked sticks, over long period of time they will protect each individual cigar allowing it to hold much more of it's oils, becoming much more refined and in most cases improving.

I like to replace the nasty yellow cello with lush new clear cello so I can better see the cigars. Approve?
