Something else to think about: I always tend to check in on my resting cigars every now and then to make sure everything is running smooth. If you have it sealed in a vacuum, you might not be able to spot a problem until they are ruined. That would be heartache...

This is true. The reason I was thinking of doing this is because I know at some point the Padrons (which are already aged four years) will go downhill at some point in time. The reason for the suggestion of the vacuum sealed box was to slow the extended aging process down. For ex. instead of five years in the humi (meaning a total of nine years) being the peak, the sealed box could then be saved and smoked at ten years in the humi (meaning a total of 14 years) at its peak. Hope that makes since
