First of all I 98% smoke pipe and only occasionally cigars which I buy just in small number for immediate use.
I am thinking now to buy 1 or 2 boxes of nice cigars with the plan of aging some of them for 2 or 3 years. I am very well aware the way to go should be with an humidor but I don't like the idea of humidor mantainance for whatever easy it could be. So I am wondering if a mylar bag as used for pipe tobacco (with maybe a boveda pack inside) could be an acceptable alternative for long term cigar storage. Again I am very well aware and no need to reinstate the gold standard is the humidor, just looking if mylar could be acceptable alternative or definitely a no go.
