Mixing up cigars in the humidor???

I like to purchase large orders of single cigars, like 50 or so, just to try different ones.........

Is it ok to just put them all in the humidor together? Can the tastes cross into eachother?

What do you folks do in this situation?

Yes, mix them together. I've been keeping cigars for well over eight years, different wrappers, Cubans, you name it. Just don't put flavored cigars in with your premium cigars. If anybody tells you not to do it, there is such a church out there, and I have to respect their reasons for saying so, but I've never had a Cuban Cohiba Esplendido come out tasting like an Avo No. 3, or a Perdomo Reserve Rosado come out tasting like a Montecristo Le Cigare Des Artes before.
 
Bloof covered your question well tune, the only thing I would add would be in terms of long term storage, ie; greater than several years keeping your like cigars together in boxes. This applies only to long term storage though, which is not what you asked. And I will reiterate do not put flavored cigars in with your premium cigars. Flavored cigars keep best in the trash.
 
I was trying to be nice, but I'll make it 3-0 in favor of throwing flavored cigars in the garbage.

:cryinlaugh:

In terms of long term storage, I've kept many cigars for years, again without any of them tasting other than what they usually taste like.
 
for the large part ill agree, however, honorable mention goes to the makers mark line...
im a real junky on the liquid form, the cigars definatly measure up
 
SAUZA, SAUZA, SAUZA!!!

I don't consider them "flavored" myself but even though they in the market are, their still excellent smokes.

Yea, I have too Bloof, not sure I buy the marriage of flavors theory too seriously. I think I've seen CastleCrest state that if the theory was correct he'd be buying Toranos to put in with his Esplendidos so that they would all taste like Esplendidos. For me storing boxes of cigars is more of an organizational thing then anything. I've been known to take partial boxes and combine them to make room for new incoming boxes. I do ussually keep a thin sheet of spanish cedar between the mixed cigars though.
