Rotation.....

....how often do you guys rotate the cigars in your humidors..?

I don't worry about it. I smoke enough that they get moved around while I'm digging. Or do you mean our "smoking" rotations?

Digging answered it.

I have my cooler organized(ish) so the sticks on the bottom tray are sticks that I'm going to leave in there for a while. They taper off as you come up higher in the cooler. So, I'd say when it comes down to it...maybe every few months you should shuffle around sticks that have been sitting for a while.

I don't rotate 'em. Maybe I should, but it's something I don't do.

Every two weeks, I move the three sticks on the right side of the humi to the left, and the four sticks on the left side to the right. Not sure it does much, but it makes me feel better. :^p

Winter months and stash is a little thin right now so don't have to worry about rotation. Was never a big concern though. Usually dig through them enough

Your sticks shouldn't be jammed in so tight they can't get air. If you have them placed with the appropriate amount of space at the foot and head there is no need to rotate them into a more breathable position.

Heading in that direction.

Point taken and I try to do just that.

I used to do it but stopped many years ago as I put little "risers" at the bottom of my humis so air gets underneath of them and as many times as I am in and out there is plenty of air to circulate in there. Many of my cigars are in cello so rotating them is unnecessary and haven't seen any issues for the last 15 years of not rotating stock.

just for clarification... im not sure my rotation does anything. but it sure makes me feel good.

What about cigars in full/almost full boxes. Are they not getting enough air?
