I am contemplating building a cigar cabinet and have questions that will help me to determine size and construction.
To create the best possible aging/storage environment:
1. Should I make the cabinet air-tight or allow some air exchange?
A lot of beads assisted by a Cigar Oasis could handle minor air exchange without allowing
fluctuations in RH, right?
2. Should I build it large enough to spread out the cigars, and open the boxes, or is stacking closed boxes
good enough?
Does anyone have first hand knowledge of aging/storing completed cigars, i.e. once the wrapper is
applied?
In the natural environment of cigar manufacturing where the climate is 70% and consistent temperatures, the aging rooms probably have a great deal more air exchange than our coolers and the cigars are aged naked, right? Is fresh air (ozone, oxygen, etc.) important to the proper aging process?
I look forward to reading all the input I can get……….thanks :thumbs:
