Storage Instructions
To preserve the Oliva connecticut reserve double toro 6×60 store your cigars in a quality humidor held at 68ºF to 70ºF (20ºC to 21ºC) and 65% to 70% relative humidity. The Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper on this mild to medium mild blend is finer and more sensitive than darker wrappers so aim for steady conditions closer to the lower end of that range to protect the wrapper and its oils. Keep cigars on Spanish cedar shelves or in their original box placed on cedar to help maintain flavor and even humidity. Avoid direct sunlight rapid temperature swings strong odors and any unregulated refrigeration. For travel or short term storage use a sealed travel humidor with a reliable humidification element set to the same RH range.
Care Tips
Handle the Oliva connecticut reserve double toro 6×60 gently to preserve the delicate Connecticut shade wrapper. Hold by the body rather than squeezing the cap when preparing to cut. Allow newly purchased cigars to acclimate in your humidor for at least 7 to 14 days and allow larger 6×60 ring gauge toros three to six weeks for the core to fully equalize if they came from a different environment. If you plan to age this cigar expect smooth gains in complexity over 6 to 18 months while retaining its mellow Connecticut character. Use a sharp guillotine or clean V cutter and toast the foot evenly before drawing to encourage an even burn. Rotate stock periodically and monitor humidity with a calibrated digital hygrometer to avoid fluctuations that can crack or wrinkle wrappers. With attentive storage and gentle handling the Oliva connecticut reserve double toro 6×60 will deliver its best balance of flavor and draw.
