Any effect due to horizontal vs vertical storage?

I am pretty sure that cigars are not familiar with the Law of Gravity.

Not so, my good man.

If the cigars are stored vertically, with the feet facing down, all of the "goodness" (sorry to be using such a technical term) will slowly but surely drip out of the cigars.

I base this on tasting cigars stored horizontally and stored foot down. Blind tasting has shown a clear preference for those stored horizontally.

Now, you probably are thinking ... shouldn't they be stored vertically, but foot up because, after all, if the "goodness" can drip out foot down vertically, it might still drip out, albeit more slowly, if stored horizontally?

Yes, this is indeed the case. In fact, my butler has done an experiment to test this and has found that "foot up" cigars taste better.

So there you go .. conclusive proof.

Were they stored in a B&M or in an Internet facility?

On the contrary. They seem to know that they have to fall "down". I've never seen a cigar that didn't understand that.
