I base this on tasting cigars stored horizontally and stored foot down. Blind tasting has shown a clear preference for those stored horizontally.

Now, you probably are thinking ... shouldn't they be stored vertically, but foot up because, after all, if the "goodness" can drip out foot down vertically, it might still drip out, albeit more slowly, if stored horizontally?

Yes, this is indeed the case. In fact, my butler has done an experiment to test this and has found that "foot up" cigars taste better.

So there you go .. conclusive proof.

Were they stored in a B&M or in an Internet facility?
