Breathable Cigar Bags
I've been wondering if storing the cigars that I get from others in tagged breathable produce bags would be better than leaving them in ziplock bags. They may become more subject to damage in these bags but the breathable aspect is what interests me, and the ability to label each bag instead of each cigar.
Is anyone doing this? Am I crazy to consider it?

I think if you leave the ziplocks open that's plenty of breathing for the cigars."I could've had a Mi Querida!" Nick Bardis3

That's how I do it Peter. A bag for each month for my own purchases and a bag for each trade or bomb labeled with the sender and date received0

I just label who it’s from and put them with the others1

Hole punch might work well

I’ve also wondered about this with bags that are made out of cellophane.0

I'm warning up to this idea. I'll give this a tryJoin us on Zoom vHerf (Meeting # 2619860114 Password vHerf2020 )0 -
"The frequent pattern of tiny holes allow heat and moisture to disseminate rapidly, thereby allowing your product to cool while maintaining crustiness."--Sounds lovely.Just kidding. Please let me know if anybody finds success using these bags."Love is a dung heap, Betty and I am but a c.o.c.k. that climbs upon it to crow."0

What problem are you trying to solve by looking for alternative bags?

I've got too many Ziploc bags of cigars in my crate. I need to consolidate things and as I was thinking about this I was thinking I could also help my cigars breath a bit more if I went with mesh bags, but now I'm thinking a hole punch in my existing bags will be a cheap and effective solution.
Trays and more storage space would be another way to go.Join us on Zoom vHerf (Meeting # 2619860114 Password vHerf2020 )0 -
You put your cigars in doggie waste bags? SMDHYakster said:I had some compostable dog waste bags in the closet for taking on dog walks. After a while, they started to break down so I had to get rid of them. Not sure if these bio bags would do the same.A little dirt never hurt2 -
I don't have a hole punch but there was a pencil on the counter that went through that bag like butter. Good idea YakA little dirt never hurt0

Mr. Yak: "Oh, nothin', just punching holes in my cigar bags. Whatchoo doin'?"

I think I consolidated three or four baggies from @Bigshizza into one holey gallon Ziploc bag. I also removed some almost empty boxes to make just enough room for the cigars I have now.

Did the same today Yak, overdue humi maintenance. Used to be really good with labels but ran across a couple bags of high end sticks with no idea where they came from. Got it sorted, will do better from here out.A little dirt never hurt0

Must be spring cleaning urges, yesterday I went through the bomb bags, labeled, and consolidated.0

Fit in the cooler nicely

I use these, but I modified mine. I wanted to make them stack-able, (where the weight of the top basket won't be resting on the cigars in the basket underneath it,) so took I some bamboo shish kabob skewers and drilled small holes crosswise just under the rim so that the skewers would go across and through the plastic on both sides. The holes are slightly smaller diameter than the skewers so that they fit snug enough not to move. Then I clipped off the excess bamboo, and now the tray bottoms rest on the skewers.Grawls said:@Yakster I just bought a bunch of these. A dollar a piece at Walmart.

That’s a good idea0
