This is going to be loaded with so many newbie questions its not even funny. So my previous smoking experience involved buying a cigar from a B&M when I wanted one or keeping it in the fridge for later. Now that I have a nice beginner stash I'm confused as to the proper maintenance of the stick during the aging process. So here goes. Feel free to quote a specific question. Many of these are preference and before you ask I have done my searching on this forum and also found some stuff outside of CP but would like some further information from you guys.
1. What is the preferred Relative Humidity for a Humidor?
My little three drawer desktop used to run around 55 or so but since I moved and got my basement man cave it is running regularly around 68.
2. The singles baggies. Do you leave them on when you put your sticks in the humi?
I would think that this would block the humidity and keep the stick dry.
3. How long before a smoke is good after coming from an online store?
I'm impatient when it comes to trying a new smoke.
4. distilled vs propylene glycol which do you recommend?
5. Can't you just keep your smokes in the fridge next to the beer?
6. Is it possible for a stick to be over humidified?
I'm sure there will be more as I get further into this wallet thinning hobby.
