I keep my cigars organized by size mostly. Today (and at other times) I had a little smoke that has previously always been just fine crack when cut. I got tired of spitting out little flecks of leaves so I cut it further back, which didn’t help as it cracked a little again.

I use two of the 60 gram 65% Bovedas in each of my 3 liter containers as each is supposed to handle about 50 cigars, though I assume I can stretch that a bit further with shorty smokes like these as they are much smaller. These are kept in my fermentation chamber that’s set to 65*.

The only thing I can think of is that the cellophane is hindering the humidification so I stripped them all bare.

Is there maybe another reason for this?



As you can see I’m below the 100 cigar threshold (57):
