Partagas Chicos Storage

[crasmith]

Just got a couple of boxes of these. Great little short smokes to satisfying the craving. Love them for quick jaunts to the store and such and grabbing a quick smoke while wife goes into a store. 

Question, I’ve read to keep in and out of humidor. I know they’re wrapped in cellophane inside the cardboard box do how does everyone store theirs?

Thanks!

Put without removing from the cellophane in the humidor. Cellophane passes humidity, only slowly.

I don't put mine in the humidor for the simple fact I'm running out of room so I put my Chicos and CoShos in an acrylic airtight jar, throw a 65 rh Boveda in there and store it in my bar cabinet. I've had the same Boveda in there for over a year and I would say it could last another year as well. The jar I bought holds close to 100 or so and fits nicely in a cabinet. Here's the one I got off Amazon but you can find them just about anywhere probably and in all different sizes.

I find they last a lot longer than larger hand-rolled cigars do outside the humidor. They taste better after sitting outside a humidor at 65/65.

They do eventually dry out, so back into the humidor if you forgot to smoke it.

All great info y’all. Yeah, I’m aware that I don’t have to remove the cellophane for the humidor. I normally don’t myself but I know others do. How about the cardboard packs.  Can I leave them I. The cardboard packs in the humidor as well. I though there was discussion concerning the cardboard causing mold.

I've had a stack of boxes on the dresser, completely unhumidified for over a year.  As I work my way through them, they seem to get better and better.  I don't assume they're completely air/moisture tight, but if it ain't broke...

Lol!  Ya never know how these Habanos will turn out sometimes!  

I left a few packs out and put the rest in the humidor.  I left them in their original packaging with cellophane and cardboard.  

I enjoy them so they prob won’t be there for too long. ?

I bought them for cold/inclement weather but use them more as a nightcap than anything.  You know the nights - you grab a mareva but had time for a robusto!

Love the Chicos - only the Presidentes can hold a candle.
