Stuck with a tight draw box of Torano. Options?

I mean the Humi is at a pretty consistent 68%, no leaks.

Remember, hygrometers that we use (not lab grade) are ±2% at best, so you could be at or over 70%. The moister the tobacco, the more it swells. Granted the difference is marginal but it could account for a tight draw.

Many, including me, prefer low to mid-60s for RH.

I don't even pay attention to my hygrometers anymore...if it's smoking great, and I get an even burn...my Shilala beads are doing what they do. And I, like Peter, prefer my RH in the very low 60s.

What if he enjoys them?
Should he take your advice and not smoke them?

Brian, I started out thinking the 70/70 "rule" was the way to go but since going to beads my humi has settled at 62-63 and the draw/burn issues have improved. I enjoy my cigars more than ever.

Yes Peter, he most definitely should take my advice.....the words Torano and Options are inserted in the thread title are they not? I have had burn issues with said Torano's, and it is my advice that he doesn't throw his money away!

Well, I took the question about Options to mean what should he do with the box of cigars with a tight draw. (Could they be salvaged?)

Your post "Don't smoke turd rockets like Torano's" came across quite differently than your previous one.

I am pretty sure he wasn't soliciting opinions about who likes or doesn't like Torano cigars.
