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