Storage Question

[PS967]

I have what I hope isn't a dumb question. Is it OK to place different types/brands of cigars into my humidor all bunched together? Do they absorb each others flavors and characteristics if they touch each other?

You really should do a "search" on this.
This question has been asked a number of times.

The short answer is that it's OK to store cigars of different types/brands in the same humidor, unless you have flavored cigars.
Flavored cigars should NEVER be stored with normal cigars.

It also take quite some time for the flavors to "marry", but it can happen. As junkman said, never put flavored cigars with your non flavored smokes.

I have to admit, I tried searching for this question, and didn't pull up with a whole lot. I know I have seen it discussed before, it's just hard to search for the particular phrase. But I think the question has been answered.

Now ask us if we think the cello should be taken off the smokes or left on.....just kidding. If you really do want to know the answer to that, you WILL be able to find that in a search. Take care

Thanks for answering the question. For the record, I did try to do a search prior to asking but didn't have any luck finding the answer! Perhaps being new to this i searched incorrectly.

Search kung-fu is an ancient art that some never really grasp. I know I'm not the greatest practitioner of the ancient art. Some are though young padewon, some are...

If they are naked (cigars), I normally store them in the boxes they came in (I normally buy boxes of sticks that don't have cello, or smoke them at the shop when I buy singles) and/or separate ziplock bags in my cooler. That's just my preference.

If they are in cellos, I don't mind mixing them in the humi. There are rare occasions where I would put naked sticks in my humi, KNOWING I will be smoking them within the week.
