Well then cut a small piece of wax paper out and put it on top of one of your cigars. Check later to see where this liquid has formed, on top or on the bottom of the wax paper. Make sure it's flat so as there won't be any run off. I think that'll help you figure out what's going on. Keep us posted.

Quite interestingly enough it's only on the visual facing "up" part of the cigars. Now it's not on every single cigar but I ruled out sap based on the principle of some of the cigars are stacked and in the middle of the stack this has happened yet not on the top or bottom. So it's not sap. So basically it's on the top, left side and right side full length of the cigars but not where the cigar touches the cedar trays. They still smoke just fine but are rather tacky haha.

I use beads formly known as Shilala beads so I know that's not the issue. So far nothing on the paper in the humidor. I'm guessing it's crystalized "sticky" oils since there is nothing on the paper and the cedar has no sticky spots.

Still nothing on the paper.

What about the other cigars? Did anything form there?
