The smell from the ash will ruin the smell and taste of the other cigars and will keep your humidor smelling of ashes. It may also ruin the freshness of the other cigars. Instead keep the cigar in an ashtray, a cigar savor or simply throw the used cigar in the garbage.
Tip #2: Do Not Store Cigars in the Refrigerator
Although it may seem like a good idea to store cigars in the refrigerator it is not. The moisture in the refrigerator is very different from that of a humidor. The moisture in a refrigerator will eventually dry out the cigar changing the freshness as well as the taste. To keep cigars fresh invest in a humidor.
