I was wondering whether it was a bad idea to keep track of aging by writing the date of purchase on the cellophane with a Sharpie. I don't have the space (coolerdor construction is a project on tap for the future, but I need to gradually ease my wife into the idea...) or the cash to be buying by the box right now, so I'm basically resigned to buying individually for the time being.
If I want to set aside sticks for aging, does it make sense to write the date on the cellophane, or will that cause problems? I'm envisioning the ink getting through the cellophane somehow and damaging the wrapper, or else the chemicals in the ink adversely reacting to the environment in my humidor or something along those lines.
It won't be the end of the world if I just have to keep those sticks I intend to age on their own separate shelf in my humidor, but I thought that perhaps writing on the cellophane may prevent some sort of future confusion.
