Montecristo #2 - thanks for the info. If you're not having any issues, it must be something I'm doing, and likely has to do with the humidor, as I have reason to believe my cigars were overhumidified (some of them seemed a little too spongy). Hopefully drying out the beads will help - I don't think I will have to do this regularly but I was keeping them more than 2/3 clear and in some cases, almost all clear, and needed to dry them out a bit initially to remove some of that humidity (hair dryer works perfectly for this, BTW). Time will tell. I'm hoping in a couple more weeks the cigars will have stabilized at the lower humidity. I'm only guessing that this was the problem as I never bought a hygrometer. I do have one on the way from Amazon now, so it'll be interesting to see what it reads.

It could also just be the puffing rate, as I tend to smoke slowly.

I just posted an intro in the New Members area and am looking forward to meeting some of you. Good to know there's a local crew.
