cigar poker vs dry boxing

CigarNut · 04-01-2010, 10:56 AM

If I can (RG permitting) will try a poker (I have one made from a 1/32 x 8" drill bit). Otherwise I toss it (although I hate doing this).

Have not tried dry-boxing as I don't figure that this will work for plugged cigars (The plugged cigars I run into are usually plugged because of rolling issues, not because they are too wet).

I store my cigars pretty dry. 55ish percent.

If I get a plugged cigar,it's history.

Wow, Dave! I Worry That My Cigars Will Be Too Dry & Brittle When The RH Gets To 60! Guess I Don't Need To Worry!

I used to use a poker more, but now I test draw after cutting to ensure it's not plugged. If it's plugged it goes back in the humidor for more rest....it's worked every time so far.
