Weird Humidor Question

Dry cedar, wood, slightly floral and a hint of tobacco.

Not sure I have a definite answer for you though, besides a lower humidity to slow down the aroma release a bit. Oh, and smoke more.

You could add an open box of baking soda to the humidor, or some activated charcoal to absorb some odors.

Thanks T.G. You are really close on the taste...more on the aftertaste. It is a woodsy taste...a bit sour like citrus (maybe)...there are floral notes...and a hint of tobacco. I thought it might just have been the sticks, but all the sticks have this flavor.

You are not the first to suggest that I smoke more. Thank you again.
