CUABA TRADICIONALES (25)

Storage Instructions

CUABA TRADICIONALES (25) are premium Cuban handmade cigars that benefit from careful storage to preserve their flavor and integrity. Store them in a well maintained humidor set to a relative humidity of 68% to 70% for best results. Maintain a stable temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF (18ºC and 21ºC) to avoid rapid aging or humidity swings. Use a reliable hygrometer and check it regularly to prevent over humidity which can soften the wrapper and under humidity which can dry out the filler. Keep the box or individual cigars away from direct sunlight, strong odors and frequent opening of the humidor. If you move cigars from a travel case into your humidor allow them to acclimate for at least 48 hours before smoking. For larger quantities use Spanish cedar trays or liners to help maintain moisture balance and to impart a subtle aromatic benefit that complements Cuban tobacco.

Care Tips

Handle CUABA TRADICIONALES (25) gently to protect the delicate Cuban wrapper. Hold the cigar by the body and avoid squeezing the cap or rolling it between your fingers. When cutting choose a sharp guillotine or a quality punch that matches the vitola to ensure a clean draw. Light with a butane torch or a cedar spill and toast the foot before taking the first draw to avoid charring the wrapper. If you plan to cellar cigars for aging, start with a minimum of six months and assess flavor development every few months. Many enthusiasts find Cuban blends continue to gain complexity over one to three years when kept at stable humidity and temperature. After purchase allow newly acquired CUABA TRADICIONALES (25) to rest in the humidor for one to two weeks before smoking to let flavors harmonize. Rotate boxes occasionally so air circulation remains even and avoid storing cigars near humidifier pads or gel packs that press against wrappers.
