Default Re: Should I buy cigars kept at 55% RH?

Try some of those Don Diegos. If they taste different than normal, or the burn real hot and become harsh, then they are probably too dry.

Actually, 55% is not all that bad (my opinion).

I have a 300 count that I use to keep at 60% but often fell to 55% to 56% on a regular basis. Once I got the vinos I pretty much stopped using it daily but kept some of the older "Daily" smokes in there and forgot about them for a while. I just smoked one the other day and the RH was 54% and it burned fine. I will add that I took my time with it and did not rush it.

The impression that I got at the store was that the humidifier had simply run dry. The last stick I bought there was less than a month ago, and it was fine, so I don't think that they were at 55% for too long. The hygro looked to be a high end digital; so I don't know how far off it might be, if at all. They don't carry high end sticks, which is why I was there and not at the B&M. At this point I'm mostly buying daily smokers, so I just may roll the dice. Thank you all for the good advice, but if anyone has more to offer, please feel free.
