Do you rotate your cigars in the Humidor?

Tetris as well but no intentionaly. But as far as benifits go some believe the last stage of fermentation of a cigar is when it is finished and stored for years. This fermentation can only be done with proper rotation. I dont really know becuase I've only been storing less then 2 years dont have enough info.

like many others, stuff just gets moved around as it goes from desktop to tupedor or when looking for something in particular....

Sort of... I go in once every six months or so to check everything, move everything around and adjust things. If one buried corner of the humidor isn't getting humidity, a wrapper could split or at the very least burn unevenly (more likely in my desktop), or if it's trapping too much humidity, mold could start (more likely in my cooler).
I totally agree with AJ on that as well !:smokingme

I do but not nearly as much as I should. I believe I read something somewhere that said they should be rotated every 6-8 weeks, but I probably do it once or twice a year.

when the vino was full and the collection was growing weekly I had to just to fit the stuff in. Now that the collection has dwindled a bit, I haven't had to do much rearranging. I have beads on top and bottom, with 2 oust fans, so I think I'm pretty even all over.

I rotate a few of my humi's about every month or so, there are 2 humi's that don't get rotated because I never open them.
