Default Re: Do you dry box?

I Lay a cigar out on the counter overnight. Improves every aspect of the smoking experience.
Naturally, I do not make allowances for the preferences of others, this is how I DO IT. But I
had my first bad draw in maybe 50-75 smokes the other day. Sale stick, du Dauphin, so like
Bobarino, I call that a manufacturer's defect.
In answer to your specific Q's, a week might be too long, a month probably ruins the cigar,
but never say never. PLANNING for smoking is more of a harvest of ready to smoke sticks.
I would go through all my stock, pull out a flaked wrapper here, a hideous wrapper there,
a particularly oily cigar in another box, then I put them all in a desktop. When I want to smoke
a couple of cigars over a weekend, I might pull out two or three for that and lay em out overnight.
If they don't get smoked, I just toss em back in the desktop. For those who posted and stated that
they do not want to be restricted or over-planned, I think that the desktop in the middle of deep
storage and "a night on the counter" is a good happy medium. And I'd be lying if I said that
I ALWAYS DRYBOX.

i age at 62%...this can be for a looooooong time...rarely less than 3 or 4 years any more and seldom are the cigars themselves less than 10 years any more.

open boxes(the boxes i am smoking from)...i move to a humi at 65% or 66%.

i just find they smoke better(slower) and taste better(for me) if i "wet box".

just gotta be different
