to remove or not

[lakeside toker]

I need some help here. Really an easy question for the multitude of experience in this forum. I recently received 5 3-packs of PSD4's and also a box of 10 of Monte 4's. Should I remove them from the packs to put in my humidor or does it not make a difference? The RH is between 68-70 and temp is 70 degrees F +-2degrees. Thanks. :thumbsup:

I leave things as they are packaged whenever I can.

I likem naked in the box. I just like the way they look.

Me to.

If its good enough for the factories and B&Ms its good enough for me as well.

Totally a personal preference thing, from what I gather.

No problems either way.

I put cigars in my humi as they come from the manufacturer. All I generally do is remove the cellophane over-wrap, pop it open to inspect, and sometimes (but not always) remove some of the annoying bits of wax paper that float around inside some boxes.

Now I will admit that when I get 3 and 5 packs, I generally remove the cigars from the cardboard box and put them into a normal cedar cigar box, but that's because I store all my cigars in boxes. But it wouldn't hurt at all to store the cardboard in the humi.

It makes it easier to move things around if they are in boxes. It doesn't matter to me if it's in cardboard or cedar.

I leave mine in the boxes or in the cardboard packs...just easier to store and move around, as others have said.

If I am reading correctly, no matter what packaging the cigars come in, all cigars should be stored in a humidor for RH and possible temp control. Even cigars in metal or glass tubes should be stored in a humidor.

If I get singles or 5 packs I will look to store them in a cedar cabinet or dress box that matches the size close as possible to restrict airflow and is better storage for them.

Same here

I leave 'em as i get 'em (including cello when appropriate)

I would recommend dropping your rh to closer to 65% though considering the aforementioned smokes, but this is also a preference thing. If they smoke fine where you have them, and you like it there, than by all means leave it.

I agree; however, I prefer to keep them in their box but this does take up more room in the humi. Although if the smokes come in a five pack box or something similiar, I usually take them out and store them naked.
