Questions:
1) Is the top shelf best for cigars that you will smoke soon and the bottom better for aging?
2) Is there a preference of putting the foot or head towards the wall?
3) I have gel in the center, should I rotate cigars occasionally in this area?
4) Should I remove my dividers for more room or do they help?
5) Can I store cigars on end, with the foot down or is it best to leave flat?

1. It will make them easier to get to.
2. No
3. No, but consider getting some beads tubes and putting one or two on opposite corners.
4. No, it makes them easier to organize.
5. Yes

Don't over complicate these things, its not all that difficult.

Thanks for your input, I rearranged my humidor at least three times last night and figured I would save myself some frustration and ask for opinions.

Thanks again.

I'd probably avoid storing them vertically with the foot down. The flavors can leak out over time.

The answers to your questions can vary depending on whether you bought them online or in a B&M.

I buy most of them online, but I do try to grab one from a B&M whenever I go near one. Flavors can leak? Seriously or your messing with the new guy?

I'm pulling your leg. The nurse hasn't administered my daily meds.

Really doesn't matter as long as you RH and temp are good.

LMAO! Nice one! I remember when I was a newbie and all of the questions that came to mind. I soon realized that it is not brain surgery and to just do what I think is best. Most of the time, you get it right.
