Sometimes I wonder where this kind of information comes from! From "Cigar Advisor" weekly email:

Smoke This!
(our Cigar Tip of the Week)
Ammonia Odor in Humidor
Ever open up your cigar humidor and get a whiff of what smells like ammonia? According to one of my best sources, this is a result of the tobacco having not been fully-fermented before the cigar was rolled. Unfortunately, home aging will have little to no effect on reducing the odor. Once the tobaccos have been rolled into the cigar they pretty much retain whatever ammonia is left in them. That said, it doesn't necessarily mean the cigar will taste bad, but a cigar made with properly fermented tobaccos should not give off an ammonia-like aroma.

Let the beatings begin.:r

Only fake cubans have that ammonia smell. Thought I read it on some card. :D

Re: More Misinformation
 

Does that mean I have to get rid of all my "special boxes":r

Re: More Misinformation
 

I must have THOUSANDS of unfermented sticks!!!

:r

Re: More Misinformation
 

No need to age them, it won't work. :r

Re: More Misinformation
 

Yeah, but your card was fake!

Re: More Misinformation
 

that was funny. :ss

Re: More Misinformation
 

Since odor won't go away, just threw out all my cigars thanks to this thread. Glad the smell will now go away.

Re: More Misinformation
 

I guess once a cigar is capped it is no longer aging or fermenting.

Re: More Misinformation
 

DAMN! I read that and dumped all my smokes that were sick! Guess I should read CA before I do that next time! :D

Re: More Misinformation
 

Don't let those sticks go to waste, send them my way so that I can age them in my "special" home-humidor that contains a secret type of wood and special internal conditions that not only ages them, but also removes the ammonia smell!

Re: More Misinformation
 

i just cut all the caps off mine so they will keep aging and fermenting

Re: More Misinformation
 

Thanks to Cigar Asylum self-proclaimed experts, I have learned that all my cigars are fake and I have tossed them in the trash.
