So if you have a long term humidor for storage and the humidity is doing fine how often do you open it to refresh the air?
I'm all excited about my coolidor and the Casa Magna sale.
Once a month or so it's a good idea to let in some air and rotate the sticks... That's my rule anyways and we all have out little quirks when it comes to cigars. My best advice is if your not sure, take everyone's advice, divide it into a middle ground and go from there to find your own preference.
I'm in my humidors everyday LOL...I just like to check on them and make sure all is good even if I'm not planning on smoking :biggrin:
We'll I'm in my desktop every time I smoke. I'm thinking the coolidor would be good for aging and storage of boxes so I definitely won't be into it once I'm confident the humidity is stable.
I try to open my humidors about once a week...
I don't have a schedule. I am in and out of numerous storage usually at least weekly though.
I open my coolidor every day while the weather is warm, since I use blue ice to keep it cool inside. In cooler weather, at least once a week to check humidity and look at the sticks.
once a week? the other day I pulled everything out and checked every box and tray for mold etc. I need to do that more often!! thankfully it was all good. in the summer which is one of our two seasons down here my basement keeps about a 62 rh so I really don't need any humidification I'm almost always good on that.
I open mine every two weeks or so, but I rarely pull everything out and rotate the cigars. I might have to start doing that more often... It only happens if I have to dig for a specific cigar.
The humidors not as often as the Coolerdor. The coolers are so tight sealed they need fresh air input often. I open mine a few times a week to vent and to check on my cigars. The humidors I make sure to open every week but I end up opening each one almost daily as I am smoking more and more often.
Seems the more I smoke the more I want to smoke :biggrin:
At least once per week with the cooler.
well since i dont have a large humidor for storing or aging ar any such thing yet i can really comment on that aspect. the two small humidors i do have i'm in at least every other day getting something out of it
When I used a cooler, at least once a week.
I open mince at least once a month to rotate cigars and check them for mold and nasty critters..
I do mine a minimum of monthly to rotate, charge beads, and charge batteries. Usually in them at least every other week load up the desktop I smoke out of though.
Coolidors seal in the contents, so it's a good ideato open them up every few days -- a few seconds is long enough,just to allow fresh air in. But this is not absolutely necessary ... humidified to optimum relative humidity (RH), the Coolidor's contents will be fine for a month or two at least.
Any wood/spanish cedar humidor lets are in -- they are designed that way ... so I'd open those at least once a week to check the RH.
Tupperadors = once a week at least
Coolers = once every 2-3 weeks
Humidors = once a week
