So Here is my question to all the brothers:
I have been storing my cigars in boxes staked in my wine cooler, all is good and fine with humidity and temps. The real question is most of the boxes are varnished baoxes. Such a couple of Ashton VSG boxes, and a couple Opus X boxes. Now when these boxes are shipped they have a Humipack in them. These boxes being varnished, wouldn't they also me moisture resistant at that point? Being that the varnishing of the boxes makes them beautiful but also water resistant. So is there actually humidity getting into those closed varnished boxes? If so How? These boxes are actually very well made boxes and actually they seal very tightly. So I'm asking is it better to not close up the varnished boxes? Or am I just over thinking the fact that they have varnish?
