Humidity
This subject always cracks me up when I compare what most of us do with our humidors to what my dad did in Cuba.
Today we have such sophisticated equipment available to us. I use an Aristocrat with a set and forget system. He used a night table, with no seals of any type, with a sea sponge moistened on a small dish. Well, on 3/13, I bought a couple of Padron 1964 35's. I placed them in my trunk. I left the plastic bag zipper half way opened as had pulled some other purchases out of the bag. By luck, I happened to find the bag last night, while searching for something else in my trunk. I totally forgot about them for nearly two weeks. If anyone has been following South Florida weather, it has been very dry for the last two weeks and very hot. I just lit up one of them and it smokes and feels no different than any other '35. So much for my sophisticated humidity storage system and some credibility to the antiquated ones. Maybe it is because it involved the finest little smoke of that size one will find, IMHO of course.
