Aging

[Emperor Zurg]

There's a lot of know-nothing jackassery out there in the realm of cigars. I pay little attention to it these days and just stay with what seems to work. I have several boxes stored in a sealed bucket at room temp. I don't have a way to control temperature as I'm not building a wineador, I'm just not that into it. Anyway, I had 3 boveda 65 packs in the bucket and one 69 pack. I used the 69 pack for the monitor figuring that one would deflate first. Well it was too much for the 2 boxes of habanos that were in there, they both started to mold. Not one of the NCs molded fwiw. Wiped off all the mold, smoked the worst ones and dropped the 69 pack and so far no more trouble. 80% r/h... in your moldy dreams.

All of mine are at 58-60% right now. May seem too low but everything is smoking perfectly. I also have 95% CC's, which seem to smoke better when kept under 60%. I personally think 65% is the highest you should ever go. That old 70/70 "rule" is ridiculous. But that's just my opinion.

Wait, what TV show were you watching that they talked about aging cigars?

"Billions"
It was brief, but I seem to catch most of them.
Even if they turn out to be bullshit.

Brian, I too keep mine at 62 CC's and 65 NC's. I have a few boxes that I have set back to age and as far as I can tell they seem to be doing ok.

Steve,
I keep all of mine at 65 and all of mine are smoking great (when I do smoke ).
When I heard it I was puzzled because of the problems that present themselves above 70, plus it was on drama TV! But then again you never know so I posed the question to you folks. I'm sure there is still a lot that I don't know!
Plus I've never intentionally aged.
