If I don't have a humidor, what's the best way to preserve a cigar until I smoke it?

Question

And what's the best beverage (aside from scotch) to drink while smoking?

Answer 1

How do I store cigars for a short-term period if I don't own a humidor?

Try keeping the cigar(s) in a Ziploc bag. If it gets a little dry, add a couple drops of water to a very small piece of paper towel to get the humidity back. If it's a box you're storing, use Tupperware.

As for what to drink...whiskey, aged rum and brandy. See the second link for full information.

Answer 2

Keep the cigar in its package and keep in a cool dark place (hopefully with some moisture in the air) . If you put it in the fridge them be sure it is in a good ziplock bag.

Brandy goes with cigars - warmed Brandy - I like Metaxa which is a Greek Brandy

Answer 3

I heard a refrigerator. I dont know if it works though.
