How to Keep Cigars Separated

Cigars can be stacked together, but different types and flavors should be separated in a humidor.

Cigars should be kept separate if they are different flavors or from different manufacturers. If different types of cigars are not separated, the mixture of flavors can change the original flavors of the cigars. Moisture-controlled cigar boxes, cabinets and rooms are known as humidors and are specifically designed to store your cigars and properly preserve them. If you store your cigars together in a humidor, you will need to think about separating the different types with trays, drawers or dividers.

Things You'll Need

• Cigar humidor
• Humidor trays, drawers or dividers

Instructions

1. Store your cigars in a humidor to keep the flavors fresh. If you have different types of cigars to store, buy humidor boxes with dividers or drawers.

2. Separate the different types and flavors of your cigars by putting each brand, type and flavor together in stacked piles. Be sure to keep the different types away from each other.

3. Once you have the cigars stacked separately, use your humidor drawers or dividers to separate each pile. Neatly stack your cigars within the drawers or among the dividers so they rest on one another.
