Question
Dear James,
Can I store pipe tobacco together with my cigars in my humidor?
I would purchase the book you have been writing. Where is it available?
Thank you, James.

Hi Thomas,
Because pipe tobacco can be very aromatic, it's best that you do not store it in your humidor. Storing your pipe tobacco with your cigars can cause your cigars to absorb the pungent aroma of the pipe tobacco and this will affect the way your cigar smells and tastes. It's best to store your pipe tobacco in a separate container.
I'm still currently working on my book so it's not out yet. As soon as it's out, I'll post information on how to get my book here on my Allexperts profile.
Hopes this helps! As always, if you have any more questions, please feel free to just ask!
Regards,
James

Expertise
My main area of expertise is Cuban cigars but I can also assist you with cigar etiquette, humidor maintenance and troubleshooting. Unsure of a certain cigar brand? Wondering what a certain cigar tastes like? Have any questions about Cuban cigars? Just let me know! I have smoked every brand of Cuban cigars and most reputable non-Cuban cigar brands on a regular basis so I know a fair bit about taste profiles, cigar etiquette and other fine nuances to cigar smoking. (NOTE: My main focus is on premium, hand-rolled cigars and not cheap, machine made, convenience store cigars.) IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT PROVIDE CIGAR OR CIGAR-RELATED APPRAISALS. If you have a vintage cigar item and you want to know if it's worth something, please contact an antique dealer that specializes in "TOBACCIANA".
Experience
I currently have 19 dedicated years of cigar smoking and counting. I have smoked every brand of Cuban cigars and most reputable non-Cuban cigar brands on a regular basis so I know a fair bit about taste profiles, cigar etiquette and other fine nuances to cigar smoking. For 5 years, I studied with Cuban torcedores (rollers), catadores (taste testers) and revisadores (inspectors) on every aspect involving the production of the Cuban cigar and I am currently writing a book that will help beginners understand everything they need to know about cigars and cigar smoking.
