Vacuum bagging

[Emaresee]

There are plenty of subscribers to the vacuum approach around the world, and even by their admission, you won't know what you've got until the time comes to smoke them. Some guys have taken the trouble to check after a number of years and have not been disgruntled with the state of their sticks. Improved? I think it's generally inconclusive. In terms of the OP and whether the sealing maintains the original RH, the material used is key. Regarding the film/plastic (whatever you want to call it) some are actually porous it has been found, so anyone thinking that they can just stick them in the wardrobe will have a surprise unless they do their homework. I think many people store their love bundles in RH controlled environments to ensure safe storage.

keeping your 'love bundle' or what ever you call her, in a cupboard (correct RH or not) will get you on the news.... and then in chokie!!

Vacuum bagging

Vac packing is said to hold cigars from ageing a bit. It's not going to age them I don't think, as Marc said you need air for that. If you had a load of boxes of your favourite cigars at their peak (you're preferred stage of ageing) you could perhaps vac pack them to retard ageing. That's what people have told me is the main use of vac packing at a storage level. It's a very good way to ship imo. As long as you have a machine that can be manually made to seal when most of the air is removed. I have one on my Christmas list.

Nice one. I already added one to my amazon list. We have a Sous Vide bath too so need one for both reasons[emoji1303]
