Cigars/Humidor, I live where the temperature and humidity are high
Advertisement
Question
I live in St. Thomas, U. S. Virgin Islands where the lowest temperature has been 68F, the median summer temperature is 82F, and there are an average of ten days annually with temperatures over 90F. I have two humidors, a 50 stick and a 120 stick. How best to store my cigars, humidity and temperature being my primary concern? Of course, I'd appreciate any additional comments from your expert perspective. Thanks.
Roger,
Sorry about the delay in answering your question. I have a short document on cigar storage that I think will help you - if you'll send your email address to me at b.finck@finckcigarcompany.com I'll be happy to send it to you, and then if you have additional questions please let me know.
Thanks,
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>
