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
Thicker ring gauges hold shipping moisture longest — give these boxes three to four weeks in the humidor before the first one.
Aging window
A medium blend like this holds well for a year or two; longer aging mostly smooths the finish rather than changing the flavour.
In the box
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.
