Trying to identify model of cigars?

I have Monti 2 from 2009, they are smoking great (at least the last one I had, which was in the summer)

That's good to hear!

Wow they look amazing! Great purchase - especially given the age - well done! Sounds like a well earned early Crimbo gift!

Ever in touch with the common man...

"...the box with its lid open should be placed inside a large walk-in humidor or ...cellar"

Haha!

🤣🤣🤣

How about a large ziplock bag or Tupperware/scuba? Will that do?

"If one does not have a walk-in humidor or cellar then one can probably undertake a similar process using two 'Zip N Seal' plastic bags. Asking the help to tackle any dangerous manoeuvres."

Phew!

Thanks, I'll get a hygrometer in there and then slowly introduce them if need be.

You could shove a hygro in there to measure the humidity first so you know what you're dealing with. Nice work. How's the aromas?

This is a good plan. You don’t want to shock them either if they’re far from your target RH. Bring them around slowly.

Nice work well done, get a big 65 boveda in there and see how long it lasts (humidor May not be seasoned and cigars might be on the dry side). Wooden humidors like that are likely to be a bit leaky so getting a boveda in there a good idea.

Or, transfer to a Tupperware with a boveda and season your new wooden humidor (forum search)! Tupperware is like a Casio - tells the time better than a mechanical Rolex but looks much pooer.

The plan is to move them all into tupperware and season the humidor then move them all back in. I've done the pinch test and they're not too dry or soft but I won't be smoking one for a while to make sure they're all good.

The humidor actually has a slight warp so there is small air gap on one side so I've got 72% Bovedas coming in the post so I'll gauge after that if 72 will be enough.

I might just put a bottle of whisky on top to weigh down the gap!! 😆

I would say its an old band but I don't know when they changed to the new one exactly but at least ten years old as I bought some with the new bands then.
