3pk cigars..how to store?

[CigarSeeker]

I recently purchased a 15 count HDM Epi2 .. They came in 5 packs of 3s.. These are none tubos. Can I just throw the entire box in my humidor? The cigars are sitting in paper/carton packs. Is it ok to keep them this way? Or can this carton/paper pack absorb the oils from the cigars? Thanks!

Take them out.

I have never had a problem in the packs. I keep my humi around 62% if that helps.

Edit: Have to say that the packs I have had, which have been few, never lasted long so that may be a factor. To be safe, I agree take the out. You can always put them back in for presentation such as gifting to friends which I did with some of the packs I have had.

I take them out of the petaca.

Now I gotta find a place to put them.. Hmm

I agree with taking them out... But if they were only going to last a short time it wouldn't matter.

I would suggest a humidor.

Put them in an empty box if you have one.

They are code JUN/14, yet they look amazing.

Hahaha.. I have wineador ... Just removed all the drawers to make room..

I'd take them out or keep the box open so air can get in and it doesn't get damp in the box.

Long term out.

[CigarSeeker]

Would be OK to put some in other cabs where I have space? I.e in my Du Prince cab and my PLPC cab? Or I shouldn't mix ?

[CigarSeeker]

Absolutely no problem...the flavors do not migrate.

Thank you.

I once bought a big pile of HdM Petit Robustos in the 15x cardboard packs. I disrobed them and stuffed them into old Punch SS2 cabs. I did the same with 5x5 boxes of Siglo 3 that I found on sale. I just stuffed them into old Siglo 3 SLBs.

I don't believe there is a right or wrong thing, but that is what I did!

I put 12 of them away between the PLPC cab and the Du Prince since I had little room left in those.. Kept a 3 pack for now use in the next 30 days or so. They look so good though, can't wait to try one.

Don't get me started.. I only have one bottom shelf and all the boxes are stacked on top of each other .. Works better for airflow though to be honest.

Same except I had to push a 10 box of Hu LCDH down there with the humidi packs!

Time to cough up another $150 for a scratch and dent wineador. Obviously, that money better spent on cigars. But I have no more space. So I'll buy another wineador. But then I can't buy more cigars!!

Arrerrrrgghhhh

One word: Coolers.

Absolutely. I have $20 invested into each of my tupperdors. They hold 68-69% for pretty much 8 weeks before I recharge the humidification devices (French for add water to kitty litter) and are perfect for long term aging. My Aristocrat cabinet stays at 66% and is where my usual rotation resides.

Just remember this.

2005 HU MAG 46 in cardboard.

I take 'em out.

[CigarSeeker]

Yes, it really makes sense to take them out. Though these packs are from 2014 and still have a good amount of sheen on them. I noticed oil residue inside the paper packs and that's why I asked. Now 12 of them are sleeping comfortable in cedar cabs. The other 3 are still in the paper pack but they'll be smoked very shortly so it doesn't matter much.
