Storage and separation for aging
So I tend to separate my cigars as much as possible by wrapper since I have some extra room in the coolidor at the moment. BUT my good friend does not have this luxury. He has a really nice display humidor that he ages his cigars in, but it only fits maybe 30 cigars the way he likes to organize it. He stores them naked - cello gets thrown away.
His question: if he were to place a few different types of cigars next to each other (let's say a Maduro of some kind, and a sumatra of another kind) next to each other and age them for a year or five, will that affect the taste of the cigars? And if so, what would you suggest to separate them effectively? Wax paper? Cedar strips? What do you think?

What the hell can a year do?
If he is REALLY worried about this, or he has some SUPER expensive sticks that he just CAN NOT have any flavor melding going on, I'd say cedar strips would be the aromatic choice, wax paper would work as a scent barrier, but that would look ghey...
If he woudn't mind seeing the eye-sore of Wax Paper, then I'd say just leave the damn cello on, it'll look better
i doubt that he would be able to notice a difference in taste.
im fairly sure that i couldnt.
Welcome to the board. Your best bet is going to be to search "seasoning you humidor" in the search bar at the top. That will get you started. As for humidification I use and recommend Heartfeldt beads. They seem to be the most user friendly solution. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
