Dry boxing cigars: why and how? @ Cigar Inspector. There is nothing like a moist, fragrant cigar. The wonderful aroma we sense upon opening our cigar humidors is mouth-watering to a cigar lover. But sometimes that aroma can indicate we are getting too much of a good thing. Long term cigar storage needs to be in the 68% to 72% RH range (at a temp close to 70 degrees Fahrenheit). But that moist environment can cause some cigars to burn poorly.
Additionally, an overly moist cigar can have a bitter taste giving the smoker the wrong impression of its quality. This is where dry boxing comes in. Dry boxing is the practice of placing cigars in an un-humidified container prior to smoking. I have found the best dry boxes are those plastic cigar “road cases” sold by most cigar dealers. I do this regularly and find that it makes a huge difference. If you enjoyed this post, please share it with your friends on social media! This post was written by Robustojoe.
