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.
How the wrapper develops
Shade-grown wrappers are at their brightest young. Rest them, then smoke them within the year while the cream and cedar are still forward.
Aging window
Milder blends age less dramatically — plan to enjoy this one inside a year or so rather than cellaring it long-term.
