Cigar Storage Questions

[logan37]

If budget is an issue, a tupperware is the answer.

If you use beads, is it essential to keep them from touching the smokes? Such as keeping them in a small container with holes drilled in it versus just dropping beads in there? And if you can't just drop them in there, what does it to do the smokes if the beads are touching the smokes (out of idle curiosity)?

you put them in a container with holes in it. I dont think that them touching the cigars would be an issue(but not sure). It just makes sense to have a bunch of little beads in a container instead of floating around your box. Plus you will have to rehydrate them from time to time so having them in a container makes it easier.

I was told two different things about this, but I guess they're both true: the cigars will seep flavor into eachother if they're touching, or into cedar; so it's best to get rid of both to be safe.

To my understanding all of these are true. mixing of flavors is impossible to stop completely(other then having a separate box for each type of cigar you have). You can only minimize the effects. The big issue here is if you want to mix flavored cigars with non-flavored cigars. I say get 2 boxes, one for each. But, as I posted above, it's up to you.
