Ageing Cigars RH

[cigarmo]

What RH should cigars be stored at for ageing and should the cigars be kept in there boxes with the lids on?

While on the subject what should the boxes be stored in ?

Sure you'll get lots of different answers to this one Mo, as it tends to be a personal thing. I go for 64-68o, some will go 60-63o for long term aging. Keep the cigars you have in boxes in the boxes, lid shut is fine, the humidity will seep through no problem but if you were away for instance & unable to top up a decent size unit, you'll find the boxed cigars will keep their humidity a bit longer. Helps keep a decent size cave stable. I keep tubed cigars tubed as well but I check them before putting them in as I have had a couple become worse for wear but remember that 's how they are stored in the cigar shop for years.
As for the boxes, not sure what your getting at, a humi or coolidor big enogh to take them will be fine no extra wrapping required.

Thanks Simon, the boxes I did mean do they have to be put in bags or something so you answered that question too.
