While I'm waiting for my order from WLT, I've been wondering about something that I wasn't sure if I should even be asking...
I've always been someone that likes to save the best for last, so naturally I'm kinda into wanting to sort and grade my "pretty" wrapper/binders for long term aging and use the "ugly" stuff first and save the best for when I get better at rolling. I'm wondering, assuming I have my binders and wrappers at medium case, would de-stemming them while I'm sorting and grading them have a negative effect on long term aging and storing? My thoughts are to have them sorted left leaf, right leaf, and stack them either flat or folded. Will have them in coolidors in the vapor proof bags with 65% boveda's. In case of when I want to roll, it'll be pretty much ready to go, other than bringing the wrapper up to high-case. Just wondering if anyone stores long term this way, I just don't want to go through all of this and later find out my wrappers and binders lost their integrity and I end up with some really expensive fillers. I think I saw somewhere companies like padron's destem sometimes up to a few months before rolling, some for up to 48 hours, some right before sending it for wrapping..Thanks in advance for the inputs!
