If you want to get the most out of your cigars, you need to store them properly. At a standard room temperature of approximately 70 degrees, a cigar can last up to 3 or 4 days without going bad. This doesn't mean that the cigar will disintegrate after a few days, but rather that it won't be as fresh. To ensure that your cigars stay fresh for a longer period of time, you should invest in a humidifier and store them in an airtight container or resealable bag.
When stored under the right conditions, cigars can last indefinitely and their flavors may even improve over time. However, if they are not stored properly, they can become too dry or wet. Extreme temperatures and humidity can cause cigars to expand and contract, preventing them from properly absorbing and releasing moisture and ultimately damaging their flavor. It is also important to store your cigars away from direct exposure to the sun, as this can cause them to discolor and reduce their lifespan indefinitely.
Cigars should be checked periodically for signs of dryness or mildew and inspected for damage, such as cracks, that may have occurred due to poor storage. Finally, it is important to remember that while cigars don't expire, they can go bad and you can stop smoking if they aren't stored properly. Be sure to take the necessary steps to ensure that your cigars stay fresh for as long as possible.
