Fuente Cigars

When in stock, Arturo Fuente cigars don't last very long - and rightfully so. The legendary Fuente family has been making some of the world's finest cigars for generations, living by the credo, "We will not rush the hands of time." Arturo Fuente cigars are handmade mostly with Cameroon wrappers, while the Chateau fuente cigars selection features Connecticut wrappers with cedar sleeves.

Not unlike the way tobacco leaves are rotated on pilons in the cigar factory during fermentation, rotating is simply moving the cigars in the lower rows of your humidor to the upper rows. There are areas in your humidor that can restrict moisture from getting to your primos. And because air circulation is important during the aging process, rotating allows your cigars to get a more equal distribution of moist air. This is also why it helps to leave some space between your cigars. Trying to pack them in tightly like they are in their factory cigar boxes can be detrimental to their survival. There's no specific method to rotating cigars, as long as you're able to shift the majority of the sticks from point A to point B.

Here's how I do it: About every 6-8 weeks, I bring the humidor out to a table where I have plenty of room to spread out. Because I'm kind of a neatnik, I lay the cigars out by row on either paper towels or wax paper. The latter is better because wax paper won't leave any lint on the cigars. Noting which cigars were taken from the top row, I begin placing them back in the humidor. Sometimes I replace them by size, but mixing them up can also help create more air flow around the cigars.
