Vertical or Horizontal sticks in humi?

[yayson]

Been wanting to run this by everyone for a while now. Find no previous discussion on it here and it seems like a really dumb question because of this, but I just can't help but throw it out for discussion anyhow.

Without a doubt there's times when placing gars in the humidor vertically would maximize space, help organize, and protect the integrity of cello-less sticks, no diggin under other gars to get at what you're after.

Seems vertical has it's advantages, but I never see it done. How come?

[boonedoggle]

I've found that standing them vertically may potentially damage the foot of your smoke...especially for mobile humidors. I've always heard the humidi-jars are bad for that reason. Of course, if the celo is still on, that would minimize your risk of damage vs. a nude

They get dizzy if you stand 'em on their heads.

Sheesh... Some people just have no clue!

If vertical, how would you identify the sticks? Also what about large sticks? Those wouldn't fit in my humidor. I also wonder if there's a better solution than digging sticks out from the bottom and watching teh humidity drop as I do so.

Vertical is bad. The explanation is here:

First, multiply both sides by x.
6x2 - 5x = 6

Next, subtract 6 from both sides.

6x2 - 5x - 6 = 6 - 6

6x2 - 5x - 6 = 0

The left side can be written as

6x2- 9x + 4x - 6 = 0.

That is,

3x(2x - 3) + 2(2x - 3) = 0

(3x + 2)(2x - 3) = 0

Using the Zero-Product Property, set each factor equal to 0.

So,

(3x + 2) = 0 or (2 x - 3) = 0.

3x = -2 or 2x = 3

The solution set is "horizontal".

That hurts my head...

Just remember, the one-itude is directly proporational to the cold-itude of the one.

The same math that Mr. Icehog applies to cigar storage was from an algorithm developed at great cost, originally, for executives at Holiday Inn. Based on maximizing volumetric efficiency and square footage/guest some bright young MBA figured if they could get guests to eat, sleep, bath and crap standing up they could modify a 200-unit motel to a 650-unit facility. Under the banner of "Stand Inn" one unit was built and test marketed at the Newark airport. At $12-night and, to everyones amazement, it failed miserably - even in Newark.

The algorithm resurfaces now and again but is generally discredited. The only entities still using it are horses, psychologists raising lab mice and JR Cigar executives with their glass-jar holiday special offerings. FWIW.

Does that imply that x is imaginary and therefore horizental = vertical?

Obviously a frustrated engineer.

I've seen pics of cigars set up vertically posted by our fellow gorillas on a number of occasions. I figure humidity usually varies from the bottom to the top, i figure the difference would probbably be greater in a coolerdor but if you have like a Oust fan inside that would solve this problem by providing circulation. I have yet to try to stand up my cigars, but you would think standing your stogies up with the head touching the bottom of a humidor would be better than the foot becuz its going to get clipped anyway and there's no exposed edges for it catch on. Maybe someone can confirm this.
