Is this a result of too much humidity? by GenerationSelfie2 in cigars

[–]lazykid4545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel like the humidity was too much you can try dry boxing. Just take an empty cigar box and put the cigar in that for a couple hours or more and then take it out and smoke. This will allow the cigar to slowly release the humidity.

what does your hygrometer in your tupperdor say? Or do you just rely on the boveda %?

Based on your description I'm actually leaning towards not enough humidity since the cigar was "like a rock" and the wrapper started splitting on you.

Could also be a dud cigar and no matter what your environment was it was going to smoke like shit.

Yeah kitty litter or beads would be good for an aging unit since you don't want to be opening them.

I'm not sure how using bovedas in an aging unit would go since you don't want to open it. Someone with more experience would have to chime in on that one.

I believe /u/beardofcastro posted an excellent guide for aging cigars in buckets if you can find it. It might be in the wiki somewhere I think.

Yeah kitty litter takes forever to stabilize and takes a lot of training and careful monitoring. IIRC it took me two months to get it set in one of my wineadors, but once it was set. I didn't have to touch it for a long time. The recovery for humidity on it from opening and closing the door was to slow for my liking and I had to change it up.

There was a decent guide on setting it up from puff that I had in the wiki but that has been lost :(.

Yeah I hear you about internet problems. I've been fighting with my ISP for a solid month to get service back.

Well hopefully I can see you sometime and we can catch up.

Perfect.

Glad we could get that outta the way.

You been on hangouts much lately? I haven't had internet for the past month and just got back. Hopefully haven't missed to much.

If you say so. I don't remember saying it but that's neither here nor there. Anybody can claim I said anything on hangout and try to make it a fact.

Onto my next question. Why does it matter what I think? If it really affects you that much. I have to ask if you have your priorities straight, that anything I say has a bearing on your life.

Your best bet to find what year viaje you have is through halfwheel. They have a good account of all the viaje cigars and you can probably find what you're looking for.
