Storing Cigars

Hi all

I would like to ask a question about storing cigars in the humidor. Do I need to use barriers to separate the cigars so they don’t touch each other? Or can I just put them in there so I can store more cigars?

Thanks

Roger

The dividers just take up space, in my opinion.Cigars touching each other is not a problem, and won't affect their aging at all. Do not, however, mix flavored or "infused" cigars with regular cigars.

Ok that makes sence but I am new and I dont think any of the cigars I have are flavored or "infused but please let me know if I am right. Is thease cigars flavored or "infused, Berger & Argenti Mooch Maduro Minnie, Oliva Connecticut Reserve Robusto, Nestor Miranda Special Selection Dominicano Coffee Break Rosado or the J Fuego 777 Zero?

Thanks Roger
I'm not completely sure about the "Coffee Break," but the others are fine. The best known "infused" cigars out there are the Acid line from Drew Estate. If you feel inclined to try them (not what I would recommend, but hey, taste is a subjective thing), just don't mix them with your other smokes.

Mooch maduro? Coffee Break?
the Oliva Robusto is certainly NOT. Smell it.
Then smell the other cigars, and, if you smell "coffee" or Chocolate, it's infused.
Keep those in separate containers.

welcome to cigars sir

some unrequested advice:
  • read through the threads and stickies here, there is a LOT of 'been there done that' experience shared - I'm not discouraging questions, but there is stuff you may not even know to ask discussed.
  • smoke what you like, like what you smoke - don't let anyone else's opinion or beliefs make you think there is right/wrong with cigars
  • enjoy yourself, if you get obsessive you'll miss the point of cigars - and most of us have gone through obsessive stuff about storage, finding the "right" cigars and more - why even I went through a few crazy patches
  • ask away, we're pretty good at giving opinions, heck we give opinions even if you don't ask!
again, welcome to CW

smell your cigars. Smell anything unusual? Cigar that just smell like tobacco smell that way because that is the nature of tobacco.

A cigar that smells like allspice, chocolate latte, cinnamon, or even absorbine junior has artificial volatile components added in, and these not only evaporate as the cigar is smoked, they evaporate during storage, as well. Anything that evaporates from one cigar will, without fail, be capable of slipping straight into the open pores of both your wooden humidor, and your tobacco leaf. So, don't put anything into a humidor that you are not willing to be shared among all of it's classmates.

If you ever go to a cigar store, and walk in to the humi room and smell some choking cloud of gunk, it's probably acid cigars. They really, seriously, can penetrate.

The last time I visited one of the local places they had a whole room full of acid. the room temp was in the 80s or so. I was sweating, choking, and wound up in an asthma attack.
