Storing Cigars Long Term

I bought too many cuban cigars for a wedding and I don't know if I can sell them nor smoke them any time soon.

Besides buying a humidor, would something like a Boveda bag be the best option?

There is 4 Romeo & Julieta no 3 & no 1's.

    Grab yourself a bunch of monicas.

    Ina ziplock bag or tupperware type container is fine, but you need an humidity pack to slowly release moisture into the air.

    You need air get to the cigars. If you put them in Ziplock they rot. Same for any sealed box. If you put an drying sachet in the bag they dry out.
    You could ask a tobacco shop if they have an empty cigar box to spare.

    I have my cigars in a humidor ( expensive ) since 2010, and the cigars are still good.

    you have 4 R&J no 3 left ? Invite friends and smoke them :-). Even a cheap humidor is going to set you $50 back.

    But yes, after checking, the Bovega Bag seems ok, if you can smoke them in 3-6 month.

  • I'm curious, what does the average cigar cost these days?

    For Christmas I asked my wife to get me a few Cuban cigars.

    Instead I got a some t-shirts.

    WTF - Clothes but no cigar.

    Boveda bags + tupperware container

    I had to stop smoking cigars.. cost is prohibitive these days. Another one of lifes simple pleasures gone..

  • people who talk about 30-50$ cigars are buying them in aus. i only buy mine from the US where they're like 1/4 of the cost. gets through customs fine, just order a year's supply during/near xmas so you have a high chance of it getting cleared

    • Which US sites do you order from?

    • from the US where they're like 1/4 of the cost.

      And the postage is 3x the cost!

    • do you need a license to import cigars? i used to import cigarettes from indonesia but a couple years after i started they introduced a license and a new limit on the number that you can import (i think it's around 1 - 2 packs now) which just made it not worth it.

    • Can you buy Cubans in US ?
