Rotating Cigars

[TonyN]

Not sure if this question has been asked before on the forum.
Is it necessary to rotate cigars periodically to ensure all cigars recieve an even exposure to humidity.
For example do the cigars at the bottom of the humidor recieve the same amount of humidity as the ones at the top
if they are stacked say 3 or 4 rows high.

With your cigars in a desktop, that's unnecessary. When you get a tower, i'd find it very necessary.

Ye i dont rotate at all just organise by size but in my tupperdor always open them up and let the boxes breathe for a wee minute or 2

Yes I agree. It's more important to change the air every now and again just by opening the box for a short period. Plus you get the added bonus of enjoying the smell when you open your humidor which has been closed for a week or two!

However, if you're smoking enough (like you should be) then your humidor will be opened regularly enough anyway!

Very valid point mate my job and shifts and no garden only really allow me 2 a week tops

Wish I could have 2 a week tops Sean! I burn through my collection at a rapid rate

I suppose not having many opportunities to smoke your cigars does have its plus points! You may enjoy the ones you do have time for a little more! Plus it's a darn sight cheaper too!

My cigars are trained to rotate by themselves.

Ha! typical knewbee obsession.

Who do you think rotates 'em in all those sealed vintage boxes that everybody wants? The puro fairy? Not bloody likely. And they seem to be just fine. The only good thing with "rotating" your puros is coming across a forgotten friend.

The most import thing you need to remember is seperating the fauxhibas from the cohibas.


But that's just me.

Play nicely TJ, people come here to learn from the old sweats like you

[TonyN]

Think TJ made a good point there who rotates all them boxes of vintage and rare cigars in tobacconist's they all seem to be in fine condition.
