Open Box Cellar Storage
Anyone here store an open box in their cellar? My cellar is primarily for wine storage, but I thought why not throw any open box and see how it goes?
I was down to two Monte No 2's left in a box and brought it into the cellar. Added two SP Belicoso & two JL No. 2's to see how they smoke at lower storage temp, but higher humidity. My cabinet is at 65% RH. Figure if this is a failure, the impact is 6 cigars at best... I keep plenty of sealed boxes in my cellar, but not non-sealed. Current setting this morning:

Re: Open Box Cellar Storage
Is it in a sealed container? I'd be afraid of bugs getting in an open box. Don't think I 'down want much above 75% humidity.

How long should I wait until trying the first cigar? Two weeks? A month?

I am very familiar with the cigars I put in the cellar. I have plenty of SP and JL's from the same cab's in my cabinet to compare.

Re: Open Box Cellar Storage
I'd say why not give it a month? They should definitely have acclimated to their new digs by then.

Re: Open Box Cellar Storage
Ok, I'll report back in a month, but if I have one earlier I will update as well.

Re: Open Box Cellar Storage
I agree with Tom about time, Moses. I, too, am following this thread. I assume that you have a finished basement? Sounds like it anyway.
I love these experiments. They so enrich our knowledge of our hobby. Thank you for doing this.

Re: Open Box Cellar Storage
Low temp I would not worry about at all. I used to run my 7' Vinotemp cabinet at 55 temp for all my boxes sealed and open. But I ran the humidity in the low 60's even the high 50's. I have found 70% RH + all I get is tight bitter cigars. But this was in a cabinet you may get a different result cellar I will be fallowing this also!

Re: Open Box Cellar Storage
I kept all my humidors with sealed and unsealed boxes in my cellar for 10 year with no humidification devices at all. The RH was always 63-65. Never a single problem
