I have a couple of overflow Humidors which stack the cigars vertically. Never faced a problem, but these are overflow humidors- cigars live in them only for a very short time.
I suppose I have some long ones in a sutliff bale top jar and never worried about it. I’m probably thinking too much about it.
I'd rotate them every week to avoid the Joyce's flowing to one end.
Just kidding. Store them however works.

Oh dear now I’m worried the juices are all stuck along the bottom of the wrapper.. I’ll have to roll them like a bottle of wine.
If you how through the got for a minute or two, it will redistribute the juices perfectly. Give it a try. And please video record it and post here. You'll be a legend.
So long as you're gentle and not jostling them around (causing cracks at the foot), you're fine.
As a side note. I can’t recommend wineadors.com
Dude has been jacking me around on some custom shelves. It’s about to the point of getting irritating.

got watch out for Joyces and their weird kinky reaction to cigars standing up. I guess it reminds them of something else they had experienced in their youth.
unless you have to be fancy - plastic tubs with heartfelt beads works as good as any expensive humidor/wineador, etc. Grab a couple nylon sleeves for the beads, toss in the boxes, bundles and cigars... make sure it’s a locking lid on the tub. And voila - excellent for aging/storing perfect cigars. I check my beads quarterly for moisture level and leave tubs stacked in the basement.
Already got that. I need more room and our house came with a wine fridge we don’t use.
it’s also easier to access and see what’s there with the wineador pull out shelves.
I’ve already got it set up keeping perfect humidity and a bunch of cigars in there. I just need the shelves to fit everything. It’s going on 6 weeks and was supposed to take 3. So I kind of expected to have them by now.
That stinks on the timing. Everything seems to take twice as long and cost three times as much as it should these days... ?
Customer service has become liberalized, so, it sucks.
Crap, how hard would it be to just make ‘em? Are they cedar? I get how shit can happen when making custom items, but a customer should always be kept in the loop and given an out when crap happens. Not good business to jack anyone around and keep stalling someone.
BROBS, I hope this helps but YMMV.
I've had two wineador for a long time. There was some trial and error involved in getting them stable but they've been dialed in for years now. I'm old and can't even remember where I got the shelving or the units themselves it's been that long. The contents of the drawers are randomly piled in there to answer your question.
My set up. I sealed the backs off, no air exchange at all unless the front door's open. I don't run power to them, they are static but live in my basement were they stay cool all year. This doesn't work in warmer climates. I do have some computer fans in the bottom wired to a timer that kicks every couple of hours for thirty minutes and stir the air. I could fit a lot more cigars and boxes in them but I don't like over crowding as it prevents the circulation. I use 4 of the large Boveda in each, 320 gram 65%. Occasionally, I'll toss in a 66% if I'm in them a lot or want them to come back to humidity faster. I probably don't need to use that many.
Before I sealed them I had good humidity levels but I would get actual condensation build up and pooling in the bottom of them when I was running actual power to cool them, lucky for me I don't need that feature. Watch for mold and move your sticks around occasionally. I should rotate the shelves a lot more than I do.
Most of my cigar stock is held in plastic sealed totes which I actually prefer for long term storage but I have had these and they work great too.

less competition in a lot fields. You only have to be better then the other guys. Additional to that people have no idea how long a lot of things take and won't say yes to a realistic estimate but will continue to wait a few extra weeks. Sadly I've had good luck saying I don't care how long it takes but I want to have a realistic knowledge of how long I'll wait.That stinks on the timing. Everything seems to take twice as long and cost three times as much as it should these days... ?
. Sadly it's like that because like I said being honest up front is more damaging to business then making a customer wait longer then expected. The one exception seems to be with food.It’s Spanish cedar which is hard to come by/expensive... especially in big enough sizes for the shelves i need. This guy had good looking work and reasonable prices so I just had him make them.
It’s also a pain to work with for a humidor because everything has to be glued rather than nailed since it’s inside such a humid environment.
Then of course searching his name and business after waiting I see all sorts of horror stories about him. Guess hindsight is 20/20. ?
