Kintsugi Wabi Sabi

Hold the box at 65–70% relative humidity at 65–70°F (18–21°C). Steady humidity matters far more than the exact number — swings are what crack wrappers.

Two to three weeks of rest after delivery lets the box settle back to your humidor before the first smoke.

A medium blend like this holds well for a year or two; longer aging mostly smooths the finish rather than changing the flavour.

Age them in their own box where possible — the cedar keeps the cigars marrying together instead of taking on the flavour of everything else in the humidor.
