Outer Cardboard packaging on boxes

[havanaclub]

Just wanted to get some responses and feedback on what you guys do with the cardboard packaging that covers boxes like Sir Winston’s, Cohiba Genios, Cohiba Lanceros etc.

For now I have kept them on my boxes and they got into the humidor. But I was thinking to trash them to open up some space.

Now that they seam to stamp both the box and cardboard with the date and code is it worth keeping the cardboard?

 

What do you do? Trash?

I’d toss them myself to preserve space.  Then again, space is a premium in my unit.

I keep them for now but not in the humidor.  I am blanking on which one, but one doesn't stamp the code on the inside box.  Maybe the 898s??

Trash, and put the date and code on inside of the box top, when not stamped on the bottom.

I keep em with the cigars in the humidor.  Want to have them in case of a trade to guarantee authenticity.

Trash them & write the box code on the bottom of the box.

898s are indeed on the cardboard box.  Not sure about the others mentioned.

For now, I have kept them stored in a gear shed in the closet. I write the date code on a post-it and scotch tape it to the bottom of the box.

I write the box code on an address label I affix to the bottle of the wooden box. I do keep the cardboard separately but now I’m getting ready to trash them.  The only reason to keep it is if you are going to resell, and I’m not going to do that.

Its just a cardboard box, just like all cardboard boxes, they get recycled.

I don't like them in the humidor space because the cardboard absorbs too much moisture.  However I keep them because I gift some of my boxes and it's sometimes easier to wrap the whole thing.  So I take the cardboard off and store them separately on an empty shelf outside of the humi.

Here the box stays on until I open the box to smoke from it. Then all outer boxes go into the rycycle bin.

Trash!  I don’t keep any boxes - cardboard or wood. They take up extra space.

Also I don’t like the idea of cardboard due to potential off-gassing of flavor, though, in this case, this is simply unfounded by fact.

Conversely, I can see the value in keeping them, if you like.  Seems to be personal preference and future use/resale, and/or if you prefer having all original packaging and enjoy opening it each time, which I do, and would, if I was willing to dedicate more space to storage.

I keep them, glad I have enogh of space.

Thanks for all the replies. The only thought of keeping them was if I were to sell the boxes as someone had mentioned for authenticity. All my cardboard boxes have the dates stamped on the wood box so out they go.

I sharpie the box code onto the bottom of the actual box so I don’t forget it, then get rid of the cardboard.
