Does anyone take any steps before putting their freshly shipped cigars in the humidor? especially in the winter time?
I have had cigars shipped to be before and stuck them right in when I got them and they kind of swelled up and cracked at the foot.

I let them come up to room temp before I put them in the cooler.
yeah...I have a box of anejos under my sheets right now...so much waiting!!!!
I was wondering if some people slowly bring it up to RH before letting them 'rest' at 65 or 70 or wever.
I just throw them in, however they're usually at room temp, as my wife brings them in during the day, and they sit on my desk before I come home from work.

My cooler is the same temp as my home 68-F
out the truck, in the cooler. :smiley37:
Maybe its just my humi then...or the Canadian winter....
I usually keep my sticks at 70 but I purposely lowered it to 65 this month and will slowly bring it back up to 70. Hope it helps.
I let them sit at room temperature in whatever they were shipped in and let them warm up slowly. Once they've reached room temp, I open the package and then I put them in the humidor.Quote:

I try to keep my humi just under 70% in the winter, it's pretty darn dry here in AB this time of year.
