RH Too High

Dry boxing wouldn't hurt.

I took 2 cigars (another CAO robusto and a CAO Karat small cigar) out of the cellophane and into my herf-a-dor without anything.

Just curious what were you smoking that gave you problems? Some cigars are notorious for burn problems. Case in point Friday night my brother came over I grabbed myself an Anejo and 5 vegas gold maduro for him. Both in my tupperador with 65% bovedas, mine burned like a champ he couldn't keep his lit.

I will also add just get rid of the drimistat and throw the boveda in, I think you will be much happier overall at a lower RH%.

Yes, I think you are right, and I didn't read it through thoroughly. Curious though, how the filler is at or near proper RH, when the wrapper, and possibly some binder is way too high, unless a dramatic spike ^^ occurred. Agreed on tossing the drimistat, and letting 65% bring em back. Agreed on dry boxing....it has been mentioned many times that it does just what I eluded to....reduces the wrapper and outer binder RH, and not the entire cigar, which, I guess in this case, may be the perfect solution. Carry on......shoulda kept my fingers in my pocket! Lol

Seems to have worked out rather well. No problems at all, though half way through I've relit it a few times.
