Hi all, great forum you all have here! After a lot of research, I have today bought my first cigar, a Montecristo No. 2 (aged for 5 years already, too!).
Just looking for a bit of clarification re. buying cigars from an overseas airport and bringing them back home on a long haul flight. I've read some websites that say that cigars can be ruined in 1-2 hours in non-optimal conditions. The air inside an aircraft is very dry. As such, my questions are:
1. Will the cigars be damaged/dried out on the plane?
2. What is the longest time that cigars can exist outside of a humidor (assuming 22 degrees or so, and fluctuating humidity levels)? I'm wondering about situations where I buy cigars on the way out of the EU, tote them around for 1-2 weeks, and then coming home - is this ok?
Many thanks in advance!
