  • organizing a humidor?

     11-19-2008, 12:19 PM

    Okay, I promise this will be the last of my silly, newbi questions.  It's just that I've gotten a lot of good info here so far, so I got to try one last time! :-)

    So, I have my new 120 count humidor seasoned and filled with about 70 cigars or so.  This humidor has a shelf and dividers.  I was just wondering if there are any different schools of thought or opinions on how to organize it.  I do have a smaller humidor for my flavored cigars, so that's not an issue.  Do I just throw them all in there, facing the same direction and split between the two levels?  Split out the nubs to their own section?... keep like brands, sizes, wrappers, etc. together?

    Looking for some advice.  Right now I'm just getting a lot of enjoyment opening it up (not too often ;-))to look at the cigars in there and taking a big smell.

    Thanks!

    in general, i keep my newest cigars on the bottom and smoke off the top. this is in both my smoking and aging humidor. the smoking humidor rotates way faster than the aging humidor. besides that, i just put em in there however they fit best.

    I pretty much just stick 'em in there. Other than keeping the heads at one end, and putting the smaller ones in the upper tray, I don't organize. But then, I don't organize anything. It's one of my more endearing traits.

    lol, I try to put the ones I don't plan on smoking for a while on the bottom and work my way up.

    I don't know if it really makes a differance (I didn't experiment) but I keep my maduros and darker wrappers separate from the lighter wrapper cigars, etc.  I have em grouped by type of cigar and brand.  If your gonna smoke em soon, I doubt it makes a differance, but if your aging 2-4 years common sense tells me it might.
