Aging & storage · Guidance
How to keep it
General humidor guidance for this cigar, based on its wrapper, strength, ring gauge and packaging.
Storage
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.
Rest after delivery
Slimmer ring gauges settle quickly — one to two weeks of rest after delivery is usually enough.
Aging window
Full-bodied blends reward patience: a year or two of quiet aging typically trades raw power for depth.
