RH Too High

[Bowtech4ever]

FWIW, my understanding is that the wrapper, and possibly some of the outer binder RH may come down that way, but the filler takes longer to acclimatize, and should be done more slowly.

I agree with you, but since it's tunneling wouldn't it be the wrapper and outer binder that need to come down to match the filler since it's what seems to be burning?

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%.

The Drimistat is gone!

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
