Hey all,
I recently received a box of Romeo y Juileta 1875’s in glass tubes. This is my first ‘box’ of cigars, I loved opening it, and they're dressed so well I really don’t want to put them in my humidor!
I decided that I’d like to pick your brains, I’ve done my searching and I know people say ‘pop the lids and put them in your humidor’ however I’m wanting to look into this a little deeper.
I have no clue how the production line, or even the life of a cigar works out. Can anyone enlighten me, as I’m curious how long these things have been in their tubes in the first place. I’d guess that they’re actually tubed up for quite a while – I’m thinking a year if not more depending on how long they sit in the store for.
So, if that’s true, is there really any need to rush home, pop the lids and get them in the humidor, I’d imagine any real damage would already be done? And they’d of gone past the point of self healing?
In my situation, these cigars are now near the end of their life, and will be smoked probably within the next 5 months.
I’m curious how this use may vary to others who might wish to possibly store a cigar for over a year + at which point it seems more suitable for you to keep them in the humidor, but as I didn’t see any one stating “I like to keep my cigars for a long time so I always pop the lids” I thought I’d ask a little more about what you guys have found, and how it effects the cigar.
Of course – super noob here, I’m by no means saying your wrong my guesses are just wild and have no weight of experience or knowledge behind them.
