How Do You Keep Cigars Fresh?
Put the cigars into a plastic food storage bag or container. For every 25 cigars stored, put a damp sponge or paper towel in the bag or container. Store the bag on a shelf or in a closet. A plastic food storage bag or a Tupperware-type container is a sealed environment that holds humidity.

Keeping this in view, how do you keep cigars fresh without a humidor?

If you're just looking to store a cigar or three, a common Ziploc bag and a moist sponge are all you need. Just take a large freezer bag and place the sticks inside. Next, wet the new sponge and ring out any excess water. Place the sponge in the bag and seal tightly.

Beside above, how long do cigars stay fresh? 2 to 3 days

Secondly, can you keep cigars in the fridge?

A refrigerator, though it would seem like a logical place to keep your cigars, has a very low relative humidity. However, getting back to the main point, your cigars shouldn't be kept in the fridge in the first place. For long term storage, invest in a cigar humidor.

What do you store cigars in?

The first thing to know is that cigars should stay in a humidor (the first syllable rhymes with "you," as in the word "humid") until they're ready to be smoked. When necessary, you can get away with keeping properly humidified cigars in a sealed plastic bag with a small, damp paper towel for a day or so.

Is it OK to keep cigars in the refrigerator?

While a fridge has more moisture than the average room, you shouldn't store cigars in them for more than a few days at most. Monitor the cigars every few days and gradually move the cigars closer to the humidification source over the course of several weeks.

Can dry cigars be saved?

No problem. They can be brought back as long as 1) the wrapper hasn't cracked, and 2) the cigars have not become so dry that all the oils have evaporated from the tobaccos. The process of rehydrating cigars can take weeks or months, so it's important not to rush it.
