Cigarettes in a humidor?

[jmgosman]

A friend of mine occasionally stashes a few cigars in my humidor, and asked the other day if I would mind putting a pack of Davidoff cigarettes in with them. Will this alter the atmosphere in my humidor? Will it even affect the cigarettes at all?

I don't know why he'd want to do it but as long as they aren't Menthols I can't see them affecting your humi at all.

not sure why you'd want to humidify cigarettes. I've always noticed that cigarette tobacco is pretty dry. If humidity were a concern, I don't think they'd be stocked behind a counter. I imagine Davidoff's are treated with preservatives as well. There's a concern with cigars going stale, but I'm not sure that's a function of humidity. I've always tossed my cigarettes in the freezer if it's going to be a while before I smoke them.

no need to stash cigs in a Humidor...But if it makes him happy and it won't harm your cigars then go for it.

Great, thank you! It sounds like putting them in a humidor won't really help them, so they are staying out.

Do not put that crap in your humidor.

The cigarettes will become a bit damp, and won't smoke very well if stored in the humidor. I'd recommend putting cigarette packs in empty cigar boxes if you want a bit of protection from the elements, but they are designed to be dry...
