Question
bill i have cheap cigars that are from cuttings. i keep them in a separate box for the freeloaders. i was told if premium cigars are in the same humidor with the cheap, the cheap will pull flavor away even if they are not touching.
thanx

Nick,
I've kept a variety of mixed brands of cigars in my humidors for the last 30+ years. In all honesty, unless some of the cigars have a very unusual aroma or any kind of flavoring, I don't think they affect each others taste at all. I would not mix an Acid brand cigar with anything else, and I would not put a flavored cigar with my other smokes, but other than that I don't think you'd have a problem.
Hope this helps.
Bill

Expertise
I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.
Experience
In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
