Need help on a decision..

I think completely sealing would be a bad idea, don't cigars need fresh air circulating as much as proper RH and temp?

Thats what I was thinking...

and there are no B&Ms around me.. i rarely ever visit one and I'm not sure Ive ever seen one with humidors for rent. we cant smoke anywhere inside here, so I would think that the shops wouldnt bother with renting humidors.
I may have found someone to look after them for a year, and as shelby said, it will a great way to get some age on them.

To be honest, I don't know. i know that it is recommended to open a cooler every few months to exchange the air, but I don't know if it will hurt the cigars if you don't. I think the biggest problem is the release of ammonia from young cigars, but I also know that lower temps will slow the aging process. Does anyone know if ammonia will harm the cigars or will it just dissipate when the box is finally opened?
