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
Two to three weeks of rest after delivery lets the box settle back to your humidor before the first smoke.
Aging window
Full-bodied blends reward patience: a year or two of quiet aging typically trades raw power for depth.
