Acid cigars

Most of us are very paranoid about our cigar storage but in reality cigars are much more durable than we think.

Bob, what about the humidor itself? Any chance that the wood might hold some of that infused smell for a period of time extending past removing the cigars?

I have stored flavored cigars in a bag in my humidor before. They only stayed in there maybe a week, but the bag did a good job of holding it in and not spreading to the rest of the humi.

I've only dealt specifically with the Tabak Especial's Sammy asked about in his post. Given the short amount of time(a few weeks) I dont see how they could affect the wood. Month's at a time or with large quantity of more strongly infused cigars, then alternate storage is probably best. But you will find most B&M's store many, many boxes of Acid's in very close proximity to their regular stock.

Also, if you consider the amount of exposed surface area and the cello wrappers on both the infused and regular cigars, the amount of oil transference seems like it would be very minimal. When tobacco is infused at the factory it is done before rolling the leaves, a much larger surface area is exposed than you have with a rolled cigar.
