Tunneling

[Nature]

Same here Mark, and its more so from recent B&M purchases. That and canoeing seems up too.

Perhaps it is a quality / storage in transit issue. I know I’ve heard, and I think you mentioned it, there have been long delays in shipments. Perhaps they got all dried out sitting in a container somewhere and just need more time to fully rehydrate / acclimate in the humidor. I will have to pay more attention if it happens more with recent purchases.

BTW, my recirculating fan got messed up and was moving air 8-10 hours a day in various intervals and durations. It’s one of those cheap timers with the pins on a dial you push in to set on times. Something got set on it or bumped into it and randomly pushed a bunch of pins in.

I know too much circulation or constant running fan in a smaller humidor isn’t good from prior experience.

Have only seen it on the odd stick every now and then but I do tend to keep an eye on the wrapper and force it with touch ups if I see one side or the whole just doesn't look like it's burning well. Like others said - probably just handmade product and inconsistent at times.

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.

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.
