Are most U.S. produced machine-made cigars dry cured?

Put another way, how do I store a box of something like Topper or Marsh Wheeling?

:u :u I have stored dry-cured cigars in a humidor with OK results. At my office, the guys left a box of dry-cured Louisiana Rum Crooks out for nearly two years. The last one smoked just as good as the first. So, I would conclude that it is OK to put them in your humi if you have the space but don't be afraid to leave them out if you plan to smoke them within a few months to a year. Boxes with the outer cello intact would have a much longer storage period.

If you do store them in a humidor, you might want to dry them down again before you smoke them. :u

Thanks Merlin. I was never really sure if these were dry-cured or not. I had no idea what to do with them. I'll probably just leave them out.
