I Store My Cigars At 65-70% RH With My Usual 69% Boveda Packs.. I Smoke Most Of My Cigars On The Golf Course. How Do I Keep My Cigars From Cracking And Blowing Up When They're Stored At 67% And The Humidity Outside Is Anywhere From 30 To 100 ??? Thanks!:-)

I always have that problem Greg, in the dry winter air. Only thing I’ve found is to slow down smoking it. Wetting the wrapper lightly didn’t help.

Maybe try a lower humidity on the sticks? Less moisture, less expansion as it heats up from the draws? Idk, just a theory.

Some people will turn on the faucet and spin the cigar under it quickly (foot down) then pat it dry, i live here in FL i just get used to them exploding now and then, used to happen in CA more because it's much dryer there .. florida wins again!

I keep my cigars near 62% and do not have that problem. Granted, I am guessing I do not have to deal with the same issue of humidity level as yo do.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Todd: At What RH Do Your Cigars Dry Out? Below 60%, I'm Guessing???
