New boxes

[cloudsofcuba]

Does everyone just put their new boxes of cigar in their humidors after purchase? I believe I've read on site that JR ships their cigars really wet. I am about to place an order with them and I just wanted to know if there is a certain way to go about a new box before I place it in my humi.

Step 1 - Take off any plastic wrap... if you wish.
Step 2 - Find a spot in humidor/cooler... or whatever the hell you store your boxes in.
Step 3 - Insert box.
Step 4 - Close the lid.
Step 5 - Fugget about em until this summer.

Step 1 - Open box
Step 2 - Remove five sticks, send em to me
Step 3 - This air space will allow for better aging
Step 4 - Close the lid
Step 5 - Fugget about em until this summer.

Step 1 - Remove cello from box.
Step 2 - Open box
Step 3 - Remove one stick from the top layer, and one from the bottom layer. If there's a cedar spacer in the bottom, I take it out too.
Step 4 - Space the cigars out a bit to take advantage of the extra room. This air space will allow for slightly better aging
Step 5 - Close the lid.
Step 6 - One single goes in your desktop / singles drawer / wherever.
Step 7 - One single gets sacrificed to the gods of fire immediately. Got to have a point of reference, right?
Step 8 - Box back in your coolerdor / cabinet / wherever.
Step 9 - Fugget about the rest of 'em until this summer....or next summer....or as long from now as you can take.....
