No, different ones.. But the cigars look ok in the humi. I havent really taken them all out and looked at them. I dont want to touch them and damage the wrapper.

Also, some are tasting like rotten eggs. WEll not really that, but similar to that. I'm using a butane lighter ( jet light ).. Could I be lighting it too hot? As far as puttting too much flame on the cigar, and not the heat?

What about this ( just thought of this ) could I be smoking the cigar too fast to cause the taste and the wrapper problems?

Too wet could cause them to split. I have this problem with DPG Blacks. Can never seem to dry box them enough to keep from splitting.

Is the Hygro calibrated?

If it is 70% is still a bit high.

That's why I threw in the "". My cigars seem to taste bad once they start pushing 68, 69%.

Also, make sure the cedar boxes you are using aren't chemically treated. Those might be giving you a stink as well.

Yeah its the new item smell. I have boxes in there with some beads and the unit is on. I'm hoping the boxes will absorb the smell maybe...

This is important. Please make sure your hygro is accurate. What you are describing sounds exactly like RH is too high. May I ask what kind of hygro you have?
