Cigars/long term storing of cigars
Advertisement
Question
Other then keeping them in a controlled environment for humidity and temperature are there any other requirements that should be done to store cigars for many years such as rotating them etc.
Thanks,
Rich
Rich,
You don't need to do anything else, except if you really intend on keeping them for years you should probably remove them from their cellophane tubes. Cellophane will break down over time and will leave a deposit of flaky material on the cigars. Other than that, nothing special that I know of.
Hope this helps.

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>
