Stocking my humi...HELP!

Ok so I got my first humidor, a nice simple desktop that holds 25 sticks. Good price and great service from Cuban Crafters out of Miami for my first humi, and I have a few sticks in there now, but I just ordered some goodies from C.com and I need some help for when they get here.

This is what I currently have...

Graycliff Professionale Presidente
Carlos Tarano Exodus 1959 Torpedo
Onyx Reserve Toro
Sosa Torpedo
Saint Luis Rey Rothchilde
Ashton Magnum

And I ordered from C.com....

Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Flor Fina
Montecristo No. 3
Arturo Fuente Cuban Corona
AND the Cigar.com Cuban Label Sampler AND the Cigar.com mixed Churchill sampler

I have a divider, and once they all get here my humi will be almost full. So my question is, should I put them all in together, should I seperate any? I'm still pretty new to this, so i'm trying to figure out what and how I can keep sticks the best. Thanks!
 
Put them all in together. I've kept Cubans side by side with light Connecticut shade wrapped cigars for months, even years at a time, and trust me, the Avo's always tasted like Avo's, not Cohibas. :sm_angel:
 
The divider's mostly just for easy organization. If you were going to store them for a long time you might want to divide them to prevent "marrying", but the jury seems to be out on whether or not that even happens. You've got all single stick though except for the cuban label sampler, so I'm betting those smokes will have a relatively short stay in your humi before they get smoked. Short meaning you won't age them for years.

I wouldn't worry about it unless you run out of space. Then you can either go on a smoking bender or keep a few in a plastic bag w/ the water pillows c.com is going to include to keep them fresh in shipping until you smoke enough to make room.

Of course, you could also just go out and get another bigger humi (maybe a coolerdor?), buy more sticks, and go on a smoking bender. Hmm... I think the last option is obviously the most logical.
 
Ha you guys are great. Thanks for the advice, and yes buying many more smokes and making myself a coolerdor is definitely the best answer, but not possible on a college kid's budget. But hey, I do what I can!
