Do you separate your cigars by type in the humi?
Do you keep your maduros with maduros and so forth or do you just put em in and leave em in? A couple of guys back home in the states told me to keep different types apart so that the flavors didn't mix. It makes sense but how much can they affect each other? I know I posted a lot of questions here lately but you guys seem to really know your stuff so who better to ask?!!?!

there are a bunch of issues in that question.
how much can they effect each other? not a lot. if there was a big influence from one cigar to the next then people would take cheap cigars and throw in one good one and let it ipart flavor on the cheap ones. It doesnt work that way.
also, if you have the cellophane on then there is no tobacco actually touching so the oil wont marry...even if the cello of off, so little oils will mix that just about none of us will be able to tell any difference.
im sure that someone will bring up the fact that cello is porus and oil could get through there. I doubt that it can given, the increibly small volume of oil in one cigar. Even if the oil could get through the cellophane we have already discussed above that so little oils will mix that there will be no taste difference.
i keep my cigars in a size order though out of convinience. for example the robustos would be in the center and the churchills would be at the end, however i started rotating my cigars and this or does not really matter any more
if you keep the cello on its a pretty full proof method from keeping the flavors changing i dont think it is worth the investment to get seperate humidors because you have separate types.

Yes I was going to bring this point up as well. You definately do NOT want to store the flavored cigars with your other cigars. These cigars being infused or flavored by other method are VERY defferent from regular cigars and the different flavors being very strong will ruin the true flavor of your regular sticks. Keep them apart in a separaete humi.
