Rotating your cigars

[Horsebox]

[MENTION=13416639]TonyN[/MENTION] there's probably some truth in that. I'm telling myself constantly 'just let them sit there in the humi and do their thing until you smoke them'.

It's conflicting stories too. I read on other forums that you had to rotate. But I have now left all other forums and I'm now only on here, as I've found all the advice etc from members on this forum to be sound advice. So no more listening to the BS that's out there

You'll be saying the same thing to other newbees in years to come.

What y'all need is the ACME Cigar Rotatorator (pat pending)

The recently developed computer controlled facility to rotate or turn singles, loose fivers, and any regular sized Cuban cigar box with both ease and care in a relatively humid environment. What about part empty boxes then? Not a problem, due to a special thing in it. [emoji6]

Coooor ... but errrrr, can it be programmed to detect and scrunch NC's?

I rotate by way of taking a cigar out of my humidor and smoking it. Seems to work well.

I think it's hard programmed in that way, so be careful with any that are enjoyable, and revert to a manual approach if required

Never really rotated them, I do however rearrange them when I'm looking at what to smoke if I don't see anything at the top.

I've seen advice which does advocate rotating but only if you have a wet humidification source like PG or water on a sponge.
IIRC, the discussion was about having a sponge attached to the inside of the lid of a desktop humi and the cigars near the top getting too wet if the humi was too full. Then the advice was to rotate.

This clearly wouldn't be an issue at all if you're using Bovedas, Drymistat tubes, Heartfelt or Xikar beads etc.

Woulden't of thought there are many these days using the old tradition soaking a sponge or oasis.

Newbies and the uneducated Tony, we all did it until we found out a better method.

Very true in what your saying peejay.

+1 I leave them alone, only time they get moved is when I'm deciding what to smoke.
