Do you dry box?

No dryboxing for me. I store everything at under 65%. Grab and go! Occasionally will get a tight draw but that is more due to low productions standards at the time the stick was produced.

Ditto. Bob knows stuff.

I will dry box when I find a cigar that has a bad draw. I keep one humidor with a RH of 60% and will leave it in there until the draw improves. Sometimes it works and if it doesn't, I move it to an old wooden cigar box for 1-2 weeks and then I will toss it if still can't be smoked.

I keep my stcicks at 63% - 65%. Perfect burns 99% of the time. I have to be a little carefull in the summer time heat and move them to a cooler room at times, but I can't remember the last time a home stored cigar tunneled or canoed on me. Some plugged stuff lately though from the trees they are rolling in the middle of the cigar though.

x2....unless it's a CC I buy here in Japan, which tend to be a little wet. But even those I usually just give a week or two in the humi and all is well.

I've actually been thinking I would try this out. Since my humi is pretty steady around 70% and I'm having a hard time lowering it.

I went as far as getting a cheap humi for dryboxing from the devil site... but it turned out to be so D-MN U-LY that now I'm not so sure...

All of my cigars are kept in 65rh, so dry boxing is not needed. I don't plan which cigar to smoke next. It depends on what I am in the mood for at the moment; it could be any cigar.

Acidic drinks and food can ruin your pallet, so I stay away from this types of food, it I am planing on smoking.

Petit Coronas and perfectos are better smoked on the dry side. Larger gauge cigars are more forgiven to humidity.
