    Absolutely!
    But it's wet enough not to want to burn. The question is why?
    Maybe you should try dry boxing one and see what happens.

    Never really had it happen very many times, but since I raised the rh in all my tupperdoors to 65%, i have had far less issues of any kind, and definitely no tunneling

    I would try dry boxing. Get the wrapper drier than the interior. Have you been smoking faster? other thought that cones to mind is are you getting loose particles falling out the tunnels? Word on the street is with the supply being a little wonky you could see a resurgence of the tobbacco beatle. Do you hear popping when smoking?

    I little less common ideas but something to keep in mind.

No reason to doubt your set up when most of them smoke fine.

    I used to have this problem fairly regularly in the past, but when I increased my rh from 62% to 65% it hasn't happened again, and that was about 6 months ago.

    May just be coincidence though as your rh is pretty close to the same.

    I kinda suspect its a manufacturing issue as well, and have just gotten lucky with more recent production sticks

    Mark, saw you had another tunneling issue. Ran into my own issues on the past couple days - trouble lighting the filler, and a draw issue that seemed fine till I lit it.

    Think these issues could be due to high humidity and temps outdoors?

    I believe my cigars are smoking better at night, when it's less humid and more cool. Gonna stick with nighttime smoking when outdoors for awhile.
