Input on a theory

Also time of year plays a key role in humidity. Warmer air can hold more moisture so the cooler it is the less moisture the air can hold.

My 74qt containers maintain 65/65 + or minus 2 steadily. The facility is well climate controlled at 68 degrees, and my room has a separate thermostat for heat and air conditioning, and stays between 65 to 68 degrees steadily.

It seems to me if you put 5-10 of the cigars in question into a large ziplock bag with a calibrated hygrometer, in a couple of days you should know the cigars Rh.

Does anyone else remember a thread where members did this on new arrivals and posted their readings over a period of about a month? If memory serves me (highly unlikely) the cigars were not shipped nearly as wet as believed from forum banter.

Very true.

I'm sure that thread was before my time here but I'll try to find it. Sounds interesting.

To me, it doesn't seem like 99% of vendors are storing and shipping at a high rh like it seemed was common 10 years ago or so.

I've smoked plenty rott and only 1 box had issues i would attribute to being to moist.

Everything else has smoked just fine.

I think lately with the supply chain problems, some cigars have been sitting in crates for months. I have some boxes come to me that contained, flat, dried out, crunchy humidification packs.

Very possibly.

Noticed it before the supply issues by a couple years too though, fwiw
