Here's A link for those that wanna check it out.

Just throw the box in. I've got a box of 06 Limitadas that have been sitting in a cooler since I got them about 2 years ago. You might get a little out-gassing from the varnish/paint on the box for the first day or so after you unwrap it, but after that it will be fine. In general, the way I receive them is the way I store them.

If you have room, why not put the box in the humidor if you don't want to use the ashtray lid. You don't need to have the "box" open. Less air exchange is always best but with that, I imagine you would get quite a bit anyway.

I'm with Chutney Lovebusciut (hi Greg) on the 'use the ashtray' part. Why not take 'em out and keep the ashtray for your use while smoking!
