Intersting. I tend to prefer a rather high RH and I smoke a lot of bigger sticks, but I don't ever seem to have this kind of problem, even nubbing them.

I notice that things seem to smoke really well after a couple of hours or a day in the travel humi. Usually if it is a short trip I won't use any beads or anything so it could be due to the lower RH.

But then again it could be because everything just tastes better at a herf.

I store even drier Dave.50 to 52 percent seems to work for me with my sticks not cracking or seeming too dry.

In addition,when using a traveldor which is a Pelican case I never use any additional humidification.
