cigar boxes open or closed?

It seems to me that there might be an advantage to keeping them closed. I think that doing so minimizes fluctuations in humidity and even temperature somewhat which can be more detrimental than high or low humidity. Keep the closed box in a proper environment for a minimum of 30 days and they will slowly stabilize to where they should be, which to me is much better for them than quickly getting to the desired humidity. Once there you have a kind of mini environment inside the box that won't react as quickly to outside changes that occur when you open and close your humidor.

JMHO that seems to work very well for me.
