Hoyo de Monterrey Doble Corona Cabinet (50)

Storage InstructionsFor the Hoyo de Monterrey Doble Corona Cabinet (50) keep the cigars in a stable, cedar-lined humidor for the best preservation. Aim for a relative humidity of 68 to 70% and a temperature between 65 and 70ºF (18 to 21ºC). The Doble Corona is a long format that benefits from even humidity throughout its length, so store the cabinet box inside your humidor or place the cigars on cedar shelves with some space for air to circulate. Use a well-calibrated hygrometer and a reliable humidification system or two-way humidity packs to maintain consistency. Avoid direct sunlight, rapid temperature swings and places with strong odour. If you transport the cigars, keep them in a travel humidor or sealed container to prevent sudden moisture loss or gain.Care TipsHandle each Hoyo de Monterrey Doble Corona Cabinet (50) gently and by the body to protect the delicate wrapper. Do not squeeze or roll the cigar between your fingers. When preparing to smoke, make a clean cut to the cap using a sharp guillotine, V-cutter or a punch that preserves the head. Light the foot evenly by toasting it first and then drawing while rotating the cigar for a steady burn. Allow newly purchased cigars to acclimatise in your humidor for one to two weeks if they have been shipped or stored in a different environment. For ageing, these Doble Coronas respond well to time. Many enthusiasts notice improved balance and complexity after six months to two years of controlled ageing and further smoothing with longer cellaring. Check your humidor regularly and rotate the boxes occasionally to ensure uniform humidity. Avoid refrigeration or freezing as those conditions will damage the tobacco and wrapper.
