Store in original boxes...(In humidor of course...)

[James4226c]

All my sticks are in their original boxes.

If I have any singles they go into a "singles" box for stability.

What if a person said they stored in boxes, in plastic bags, in big metal boxes? Would you say they were askin' for trouble with a capital F?

This.  Exactly.  Original boxes mainly.  I have two larger "End Table" Humidors, a small wineador (unplugged), 3.5 Desktops (1 is tiny), a cooler and a big ass plastic container I store mainly customs and temporary overflow in.  Being a split junkie has over packed my singles drawers and thinking about organizing them gives me high blood pressure.  Thankfully I think @Hurltim is helping me to solve this. Ugh. First world problems....

Just go all in and buy the boxes. It's easier that way.......

Just curious, but would you say the same thing about cardboard petcas too?

Yes, same thing there. But - caveat - the cardboard petacas is a special case, as the cigars contained can adopt that particular cardboard smell when stored for longer periods in a petaca and the cardboard single boxes some sticks come in. But this is not a mouldy, musty note, it simply is that typical unpleasant recycled paper, cardboardish note.

Stored at decent moisture (<70% rH at room temp), neither dress boxes, nor petacas, nor Behike, Swinnie or 898 covering boxes will become musty. But if so - it can be taken as an excellent proxy for indicating a necessary check of storage conditions!

Had never thought of this possibility...another reason to keep that % lower!

all my smokes are in original boxes and my tubos boxes are still all in the tubes as well, for me over the past 10 yrs I have come to enjoy aging the cigars in the tubes

Can you store cigar boxes on side in humidor or flat?

Original boxes. Multiple coolidors.

I use a desktop humidor to dry box a weeks worth of sticks.

I “try” to avoid it, but it’s inevitable to maximize the space.  I typically will slide one or two vertically between my stacked boxes on their flat sides.  I have no science behind it, but I always put the foot side of the cigars down.  Maybe it will lead to cracks at foot, but usually after a quarter inch I’ve burned through them is my logic, where as cracks/issues at the head can plague the entire smoke. Again, no science there, just how I choose to justify or reason.  I also don’t do it with any of my nicer stock, but for me to put some of my Bolivar Royal Corona dress boxes or BPC/Monte 4, for example, vertically is a common site in my humidor.
