[QUOTE="Ocelot55, post: 334796, member: 2387"] 1) some humidors have cedar dividers that can be used to separate different varieties, however cross contamination should be kept at a minimum at the rate you'll probably smoke them. Just remember not to take them out of the cellophane if they touch each other. Oh, and do not keep pipe tobacco or flavored cigars in your humidor. 2)best humidity rand is between 65%-72%. 70% is supposed to be the industry standard. Once you start you may find that certain sticks burn better at a dryer humidity or visa versa. 3) Once you get your humidor seasoned, not often. I have a nice glass top so I can see the hygrometer at all times. That means I don't have to open the humidor to check it. And please, for the love of Pete, stay away from analog hygrometers. 4)Cigars are supposed to age well, but they do require turning every so often. I personally have noticed a more noticeable short term change with pipe tobacco then cigars. After about 2 years you really can notice an aged pipe tobacco. Cigars sort of depend on the stick. I haven't noticed a whole lot of difference until after 5 years. [/QUOTE]
