How should I organize the cigars in my humidor?

Organizing cigars in a humidor is a simple task, but it should be done with some thought. How should you organize the cigars in your humidor? Once you have the humidor set up with the ideal conditions to store your cigars, you have to think about how to place them. Of course, if you have opted for a walk-in humidorhttps://en.wacota.com/walk-in-humidor/ rather than a humidor, this will be less of an issue. In this case, the available space is larger and you can organize your cigars much better. Both in their own boxes either open or closed, or in trays as single assorted cigars.

The organisation of the cigars in the humidor will depend on your tastes. It will also be influenced by if you want to age your cigars for longer, or if you are someone who smokes their cigars soon after purchase and therefore they do not spend much time in the humidor, among other considerations…

Here are some keys to keep in mind when storing your cigars:

Mixing cigar brands 

As with in everything in life, there are pros and cons to storing cigars of different brands together in one humidor. The more ‘pure’ experts and fans are reluctant to put cigars from different tobacco companies in a humidor together. Their argument is that keeping them separate ensures that the cigars retain their own distinctive aromas.

This is often the prevailing opinion among cigar purists. However, nowadays there are many blends of tobaccos in cigars from different countries that make this idea somewhat meaningless. For example, the famous Connecticut wrapper is grown in countries other than the United States; there is Dominican tobacco in cigars made in Honduras or Mexican tobacco in Nicaraguan cigars.

Looking for a cigar humidifier for your humidor or Walk-in cigar room?

On the contrary, the ones who advocate for this practice of storing multiple brands together assure that by keeping different cigars in the same humidor, they are somehow even more enriched. How does this happen? Well, older cigars give off their aromas and oils, so they will blend perfectly with the younger ones. In addition, those cigars that are drier will be able to take advantage of the humidity within the younger cigars.

Storing cigars in their boxes

Another option to keep the humidor organized is to store the cigar boxes directly in the device. This is a good solution for those who don’t want different cigar aromas to mix. If you choose to leave the cigars in their box, you will need to ensure that it has adequate humidity levels (between 65% and 72%). A good option is to keep the cigars in the humidor with the box open, so that they do not mix with others, the humidity from the humidor reaches them and it is visually attractive. We always advise you to use the best humidifiers on the market, to avoid problems in the conservation of your jewellery.
