Caesar Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Question for the group: How often do you rotate your cigars and/or turn them over in the humidor? If you don't do this semi-regularly, how much will this affect the smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyee Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 nope, I'd be rotating cigars for hours on end if I had to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkz Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The only time the sticks in my humi gets some exercise is when I need something tasty from the bottom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokinAl Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Mine seem to get smoked so quick as to make revolving them academic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skindiver Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I don't really rotate my boxes as such, but seem to be playing a constant rotation based upon the sizes of the boxes, kind of a mixed puzzle game. I think there's a name for that but it escapes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobsled Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 No scheduled rotation, but probably take everything out and reaarrange quarterly based on stock and space issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Count me as one of the guys who only moves things around when trying to make room or dig something from the bottom. I don't know that that there is an effect either way. Professor Twain uses a wine cooler and rotates his boxes, as he's found the humidity varies from top to bottom.

KB24 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I do a steady rotation every 3-4 months with the boxes. I'm not so sure it matters but I like taking them all out of the Aristo and seeing what I have and then putting them back in. -Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 The only time I rotate my stock is when I know my sticky fingered relatives are coming over, then I rotate my good stock to the closet and bring out the dog rockets.:-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My humi is fairly small and I have a coolerdor, which almost makes for a revolving system as cigars move from cooler to humi on a pretty regular basis. This said, I don't think a person could convince me that rotating stock at set intervals is of any value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wp2 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I rotate boxes occasionally (Mini, winecoolerdor, frigerdor), but I'm more concerned with having the right humidity in each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rotate and inspect fairly regularly, usually after a new purchase so as to make room. I have temperature problems. I am well pleased that I do check, as I found a live beetle recently. It hadn't done much damage that I could see and maybe it wasn't a tobacco beetle. I was so shocked and splatted it before I thought of having a good look. I also found some mould (mold) recently. I guess if you are running at 70/65-ish all round. then rotation shouldn't be necessary but if you can't guarantee the optimal settings, it pays to play Tetris.

Mr. Japan Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I rotate at least twice a year , but sometime purchasing several boxes, to make space I move all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandholm Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 never, never thought about it either, if you use a good humidor, with an active humidification unit, who has a fan, the humidity will be the same in the whole humidor » Question for the group: » » How often do you rotate your cigars and/or turn them over in the humidor? » » If you don't do this semi-regularly, how much will this affect the smoke?

Chicago Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 »I guess I am in the minority but I keep a stash of loose cigars in my top shelf and need to rotate them as the cigar oasis I use kicks in quite frequently here living in Siberia. If I do not rotate them, they burn crooked. So there.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been doing this long enough to know for sure, but I have noticed that I get a much cleaner, more uniform burn when I set a stick aside for a couple of days, out of contact with any other cigars, and remember to rotate it a couple of times. It's on the times I haven't done this that I get a side-burn. Just sayin', is all I'm sayin' . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
