Bourbon fermented cigar storage

[TheGreyGhost]

I have a question concerning bourbon fermented cigars. I just received a box of Pappy Van Winkle's family reserve barrel fermented cigars for Christmas. Would these be considered "flavored" cigars and if so should I store them separately from my other smokes ? Thoughts ?

Thank you.

without reading about them, it sounds similar to the Fuente Anejo. The tobacco for them was originally fermented for a minimum of five years, and then went through a second one in used cognac barrels. I'm guessing that's what they've done here with used Pappy barrels? If that's the case, you don't need to separate cigars.

I was hoping that was the case. Thank you for the information. Much appreciated

I have one, but haven't smoked it yet. I've actually heard good things about this cigar. I've heard more than one person say "they aren't worth the price" So without looking it up, I'd say you have a nice friend!

Not flavored, but also stronger in aroma than your Fuente, Davidoff, or Diesel bourbon aged sticks.

Keep them in the cello for sure and depending on how you store your cigars, keep them in their own tupperware, a food safe mylar bag, or a ziplock bag. If you have a large cabinet, New Air or Raching they should be fine in the box, lid closed.
