Multi-factorial? You must be an engineer!

I hadn't thought about that fact. Their humidor appears to be at "normal" room temperature, but the smoking areas are fairly chilly. They have an exhaust fan that sucks the smoke out, and it brings in cooler outside air. Maybe that could be a factor, too.

My other thought is an interaction between 1) larger RG smokes that I gravitate towards, 2) punching the cigar that only draws air from the center, and 3) my tendency to smoke a cigar fairly slow. Maybe I'll try to change back to a straight cut to see if that affects anything.

My excuse to smoke more cigars!
