    Drymistat leak onto cigars

    Hi all,

    In some of my smaller cigar boxes I had used the Drymistat tubes and I was in a rush and put the tubes in without doing the drip test as they were super dry. Unfortunately the water leaked and a bunch of cigars got damp from the water leaving the tubes. I dried them out.

    Is there any risk health-wise to smoking those cigars? I'm no chemist, but manufacturer said I should have no worries.

    Also, if anyone made this mistake, did you notice any flavor change?

    I personally have had various forms of humification get on my cigars. Let them rest a bit and I would not worry about it. If they were like soggy wet then you could dry box them for a bit.

    I would imagine that whatever is inside a Drymistat or Boveda is already inside of your cigars. That's how the humidification process works. I don't know that for a fact, but it seems logical to me. It's a transfer of air and humidity from one to other on a constant basis. I believe it's mostly a saline solution.
