I've got three trays in my display/daily smoke humidor - one tray mostly Maduro, one tray mostly Cuban, and one tray mostly non-Maduro non-Cuban. Each tray is split between cigars taken from boxes from the coolers, i.e., inventoried, versus cigars from passes/trades/bombs etc. (not inventoried nor eligible for passes/trades/bombs etc.). Every couple of months I restock, and end up with a totally different random arrangement.

:-)

Seriously though, with what you have, I'd suggest sorting by age if you must sort, even if you put a little label on each cello with the purchase date (which a surprisingly large (to me) minority do). I've never had a (non-Cuban) cigar that got worse after sitting for a year, but I've had plenty that smoked better after some rest.
