Storage Instructions
For the Vegafina 1998 VF 46 (10) store in a stable humidor set to 65 to 70% relative humidity and a temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF (18ºC to 21ºC). A well seasoned humidor will keep the cigar fresh and preserve its flavor and draw. If you use two way humidity packs aim for a pack rated near 69% to maintain an even environment. Keep the cigars away from direct sunlight and strong odors which can be absorbed by the tobacco. If you are transporting a few sticks use a travel humidor or sealed tube with a small humidification element to avoid rapid swings in humidity. For a lighter wrapped leaf handle with a little extra care as lighter wrappers can be more fragile, while darker wrappers are generally more resilient to handling and slight humidity variation.
Care Tips
When you receive the Vegafina 1998 VF 46 (10) let the cigars acclimate in your humidor for at least two weeks before smoking, and for best results allow four weeks to settle in and for the flavors to integrate. Always store them in their box if provided, this helps maintain stable humidity and encourages even aging. Handle the cigar gently to preserve the wrapper, avoid excessive rolling between your fingers, and use a sharp guillotine or V cutter to create a clean draw. When lighting, toast the foot first with a butane lighter or wooden match and rotate the cigar for an even burn without overheating the wrapper. For those who plan to age the Vegafina 1998 VF 46 (10) try short term cellaring of six months to a year to see mellowing and added complexity, and longer aging for dramatic development. Check your humidor and hygrometer regularly and adjust as needed to keep a consistent environment for maximum enjoyment and preservation.
