Will Gurkha Platinum's ruin my other cigars?

I've got a good size humidor and some Gurkha Platinum cognac flavored cigars. If I keep them in a smaller humidor and open it, there's a very noticeable cognac smell.

Will keeping these in my large humidor with my other normal brands affect them at all? It's not as fragrant as an Acid by any means, but is noticeable. The Gurkha's are in wax sealed glass tubes but obviously the smell still gets out.

Thanks for any comments.

I don't smoke flovored cigars, but I would store them separately. My understanding is that the flavored sticks will affect the smell/taste of your non-flavored cigars.
 
What Steve said - even if it's just a piece of tupperware with some beads in it, I would keep the flavored stuff separate.
 
Check your tubes because it seems like you have a leak. There is a plastic stopper under that wax seal and you shouldn't be able to smell anything if the seal is still good.

X2 I have 6-8 of those in the silver and brass colors, and have never noticed any odor coming from them. You should find the one that's causing the odor and isolate it from you other cigars, or smoke it!!
 
I've only got one left right now, so I guess I should just smoke it. :) I do buy them regularly, though.

The ones where I noticed the smell were shipped to me in the dessert, so maybe they blew a leak b/c of the heat (the wax was bubbled up sometimes). I'll have to watch the next batch that comes in and see if there's even a smell at all. Maybe there's nothing to be worried about. :)

X3, mine have never had an odor coming from them.

X4, don't smell mine either.
