Tobacco is quite hygroscopic, meaning it will suck up moisture in the air. This moisture can make cigars so wet that the tobacco refuses to ignite. Wet sticks can take forever to dry out to the point where they smoke decently, and if your humi is in the high 60s RH% it will take even longer. Try the dry boxing, and if that cures the issue then you know what the problem was. Dry boxing simply means leaving your cigars in a environment that has a lower RH% than your humidor. Could be another humidor, an empty cigar box, or just on the counter. A couple or few days usually does the trick, but it may take even longer depending on the humidity.

If you still have a problem, call or email the Taboo team, their customer service is excellent.
