Resting or aging question

How should I pack my cigars for resting and should you rotate them occasionally? When I get a batch I pile them loosely in the lg humi using dividers. The cigars are about 3 or so high when done, all in their slots with room on either end to breath. Is this a good arrangement? Should I rotate the cigars bottom to top occasionally or just let them be?

    as long as they arent crushed and you have a humidor maintaining proper rH it makes no difference how many high they are stacked. no rotation needed. but if you feel like it, by all means. it wont hurt.

    I keep the ones that I'm trying to age the most at the bottom of the humi for no other reason than I figure out-of-site means out-of-mind and I'm less likely to smoke them! Plus the thought of them cozied up directly against the spanish cedar makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside...haha. But seriously I don't know if that direct contact would help impart some extra flavor over time. I figure a cedar sleeve can affect taste over time (positively IMO), so why not direct contact with the humi bottom?
