Here's a question for all the pros.....how long do cigars in their packaged box keep without being in a humidor....Is the cedar box "like" a humidor without the element? Seems to me they stay quite a bit as long as the box is kept closed.

they are not twinkies. i put the boxes in a cooler chest with a large tupper, green oaisis, and a 50/50 mix.

i put them on their heads because in my wildest thinking, i prefer moisture to go to the head of the cigar instead of laying the box flat and having the moisture settle in the lower half of the cigars causing canoeing.

but i am a nut case so take my advice with a grain of salt. except for they will keep in the box longer if the box is humidified

Standing them up like that is an interesting idea, but I don't know if it has any real effect.

After all, aren't you supposed to roll or rotate cigars in storage?

you could turn the boxes over

he is talking about sealed boxes. i don't know how to rotate boxes.

that would work also. but think of the story you can tell your none cigar friends.

yes, bob, after many years i have found that storing cigars on their heads eliminates canoeing.

what is canoeing you ask. sit down my friend and let me tell you how smart i am about cigars.
