Default Keeping different cigars in the same humidor?

I currently have my Cohibas in one humidor and my Churchills in another. I have recently been offered some Bolivars and don’t have another humidor can I store them in my snuff humidor or do I risk tainting my snuff or vice versa?

I have a humidor for aged natural snuff and it is this humidor I would use.

Would I be better dividing them into my two cigar humidors and could they be affected by contact with the Cohibas and the churchills?

Sorry for all the questions.

You can mix cigar types no problem. I just would not put any flavored cigars in there or White Owls.

You can put all your cigars in one humidor. I'd advise against putting cigars in your snuff humidor as flavors might mingle.

So to answer your question, I'd divide them.

yeah in fact, many people consider a little flavor mingling to be a good thing. In my opinion though, it would take a long time for different cigars to significantly affect the flavors of the smokes around them. unless of course, they're flavored cigars. Those should be quarantined with extreme prejudice!

This is how I roll. If you got Acids or something, put them in something separate. Anything else, should be fine.

The best way to reduce the cigar in the other flavors mixing is similar to separate the cigar is divided on the use of rice in your humidor or if you have the largest humidor cigars and the preservation of isolated separate trays.

This looks like a native German speaker (guessing German because of the last name of Hies) who is running German answers through something like Google Translate.

I think he was saying that you can separate different cigars in trays, or use rice (rice? really?) to absorb odors. Maybe.

There have been a few new members recently with this same kind of translation difficulty. I'm always torn as to whether they are actual members, or some kind of spam bot.

Use wax paper to divide if you are concerned.

Much as I'd love to keep this off track and funny, I have a serious question:

wouldn't rice screw with the humidity level within the humidor by sucking moisture out of the air?

Nah, I think Bob's concern is, why waste perfectly good rice in a humidor .

I think it would as rice is often used to for it's properties of absorbtion. I am still new but I don't think this is a good idea.
