Why acids and other infused sticks can impact the taste of other cigars I believe that a walk in at a b&m won't offer the conditions needed to allow that flavor exchange. Remember the door opening and closing offers a big air exchange within the humidor on top ofthe fact that alot of boxes that are being stored there are sealed and offer very little air exchange. The open boxes take a lot of real estate and I don't think a few open boxes of acids and other infused sticks offer enough of the "smell" to be let out and absorbed by the other cigars.

To my understanding too is that it will take a good amount of time for the cigars to "marry" flavors and if the b&m is fairly busy the stock should move well before that will happen.

Just my
