Confused what wrong with my cigars?

[snooky]

This can often be the case with many Cubans if you can resist let them rest for up to a year. Ive just smoked a MC No4 which were impossible 18 months ago but now is excellent.
Stock up and rotate. All the best.

I think 65 is looking like the way to go, now how do i get the RH down?

I just stuck the 65 RH Beads from CGars in:

I use 65% heartfelt beads in my humidor and they work really well regulating the humidity so I am not having to check things on a daily basis.They are pretty expensive but worth it in my opinion.

Lift the lid slightly, a matchstick for a spacer is an old trick for this. Allows for a gradual change.

65 gets the vote from me too , although you could go down the dryboxing route as mentioned before.

For me 70 is a touch high, try to aim for 65ish and see if things improve for you.

As said it could well just be bad luck.

If your having difficulty with tight or poor burn try storing at 60/65% or try dry boxing.

I wasn't criticising Sean, I was pleased that you concurred

As I said!

I know - sorry - I'm a slow typer particularly on the iPad so although so you managed to post twice in the time it took me to post once!

Wouldn't hurt

[cigarmo]

I hadn't smoked much from the tubos for a while, they were good a couple of months ago. I could open them all and see how they feel?

On the other hand you could have just been unlucky with those two cigars, have you noticed any problems with any of the others?

Have you tried dry boxing or storing at 65? I have found far fewer draw problems since I started storing at lower humidity

Further to that Mark and I often smoke a pair of the same cigars from the same humidor and our burn experience is nearly always different.
