This is the 3rd cigar in a row that have had puffin' issues. They just won't stay well lit despite a puff every 30 seconds which takes an initial puff jus to spark it better.

I switched to Boveda 69% as I began to have issues with Xikar 70% solution, though it worked fine for over a year. But I'm having issues again. It seems they might be too moist I guess.

I even went from the smaller diameter punch to the Montecristo punch, but nothing changed.

My hygrometer shows 70% RH as it usually did with the Xikar solution. I've read these are about spot on and nearly need no monitoring.

For now should I allow them to rest outside of a conditioned space prior to smoking? I'm at a loss here...
