turn it into a cc humi and take the plunge! You won't be disappointed. That first order can be a little nerve-rattling but it is definitely worth it.

anyhow, I've been "dry boxing" everything I smoke for a few years now and it really seems to give the cigars a much better flavor. The reason I used quotation marks is because I don't use an actual box. I just pick out what I plan to smoke for the following weekend and leave them on the bar for a few days, (usually 3-4). I only take out what I plan to smoke within a week so there's no organization necessary.

I think the amount of drying time depends on where you live though. I'm in Houston, which has very high humidity most of the year. I can leave cigars out of the humi for weeks at a time before they get crunchy, but if you live somewhere dry you might want to use more caution than me.
