I am in the process of seasoning a new 200ct humidor with 1 tray. Once done I will be transfering my cigars from my other small humis, currently I keep my low-end cigars together in one humi. Does it matter how I store them in the new humidor? Should I keep certain types together? Cheap ones on the bottom or the top? Wasn't sure if the location in which they were stored matter (bottom or top had any effect on the cigar). Thanks 🤔

(Also I perfer to the cello on as of now, if that helps with answers)

That way I can always find what I'm looking for.

The only thing ii thought was cool is, if i had enough cigars of one brand that were high end, and a spare desk top, i would use that desktop specifically for those higher end gars, like a strictly AF humi or a stricly LP humi. Something like that,

Generally i would say that i do not think it matters whether or not you store your low end cigars with better quality ones. Like i already said, i would be grouping them together by brand, then if i had a bunch of singles it would be by wrapper type. you can have this guy Forrest Price make you some very very very nice custom sized dividers if it bugs you that much.

Some of these vets may not take the time to organize their stash some do, you will get many different opinions on here, most of them will steer you in the right direction, i know i have avoided making at least two decisions that would have ultimately been a mistake due to their input and advise, good group of guys here,

If you plan on sticking around hit up the Noob trade thread and sign up for a vet, or jump right on itnto the Noob Pib to earn some trading cred.

One cooler is mix of stuff I won't touch for another 6 months or more

One cooler is stuff I don't want to smoke anymore (troop smokes, trade bait, etc.)

One cooler is boxes that are smoking good now.

One cooler is trays and 'loose' sticks that are ready to smoke now.

One desktop is HTF's and 'special occasion stuff'

One desktop is gf's infused

One desktop is gf's non-infused daily working stock

One desktop is at work

One desktop is my daily, ready-issue working stock

If I have cheap cigars in any of those, I don't usually publicly admit it. Price of joining the elitist ranks.

+1

sounds organized enough for the likes of me.

One humidor is out and visible. The other is in a cabinet. The visible humi has daily smokes and trade sticks. The cabinet humi has keepers, special occasion smokes and ISOM smokes

Do what works for you - cello ON always.

The one thing you can count on is that your taste in cigars will evolve and change over time.

Jump on the Noob Trade. Catch up with Fishingguitarman (FGM) and get set up with a Vet. And while you are at it, search for the Thonginator - but don't say you were not warned.

@dstieger that is some organization and collection. Maybe one day.

@madspackler @Zmarkadonis thanks for the info and advice to join the trade circuit. I will be doing that soon.

Take your time with proper seasoning, after a week it will be ready for cigars.

Smart idea for reasons mentioned in previous posts. Whip out the low-end when your buddies come over. The are few things sadder in life than seeing a discarded AF in a ashtray with two puffs taken out of it.

Not really, as long as they're loose and not packed in tightly. Cigars like space and air/humidity circulation.

Yes, if it helps keep them organized and easier to locate without having to root through your stash. Good idea to keep the infused (dessert) cigars separated.

I store them separately. If you want to keep them in one humi, I would suggest "special occasion" on the bottom, "every day" on top. It's also good to rotate your cigars...but don't handle them too much. Some wrappers are thinner than others and will pop open/split during smoking.

Not really. Good idea to rotate your stock...better yet...SMOKE 'EM UP.

Cello protects.

I have no infused or flavored gars yet, not sure that I have ever had any to date actually.

If you are going to pretty much be smoking the stock "evenly", and some air circulates every few days or so, no problem storing them together, imo. Concur about the infused warnings

If you ever do DO NOT admit it !!!LOL!!

I have seen that before. Haha.
