What Cigar's Do You Almost Always Dry-box?

[ciggy]

I've been doing this long enough to know my humi's are spot on at 65% but I alway's seem to have to dry box most "Viaje" blends...Especially the the 2011 Holiday blend. I find this to be a pain in the arse as most days choosing a cigar is spontaneous.
So it just made me wonder if you had any smokes you find you need to dry-box almost all the time for a perfect smoke.

i almost never dry box anything. i keep my RH at 68% and i dont have burn issues with almost ay cigars.

I don't dry box at all. Occasionally it's done unintentionally, such as leaving a smoke in my travel humi for a day or two, but I don't do it intentionally.

Never dry box... humi is set at 65% and have no burn issues. Of course I usually let cigars sit for a month at least before smoking.

I'd say 99% of the time I don't either but these cigars just seem to need it. I dunno.

I have had the same issue with the 2011HB. Great taste but horrible burn unless I dry-box.

This is what I do here ^^,
Never intentionally, but sometimes it happens.

but Im like you the cigar I pick is usually spontaneous and rarely planned.
so if I feel I have to dry box something (suggested to me for CC's) I usually pass on it until I have the time to plan it out.

Before I joined this site I had my humidor set to 70% and experienced issues and sometimes had to dry box. After reading a few post in the beginning I found that no one has their humi at 70% so I brought mine down to 67% and have not had an issue since.

5 Vegas Relic. Indian Tabac Super Fuerte. I hear the Gran Habano 2002 Churchill also needs dry boxing. I don't usually smoke sticks that need to be dryboxed but those are ones that I have had in the past or have heard need it. I keep my humi at 67% and don't smoke super oily sticks

Fuego 777 maduro and 5 Vegas Relics. Both are good but need a day or so of drying. the 777's could use a week...

Tom, not to be a grammar nazi, but I noticed that you had a typo in the title of your thread...

The plural of "cigar" is not "cigar's". That's the possessive.

The plural of "cigar" is "cle".

Like most, hardly ever dry box. The only cigar that I have dry boxed, intentionally, is the Undercrown. But I only did that as per JD's instructions. In fact, wasn't even that familiar with it until I read about it in repsect of the Undercrown.

Yeah i had to dry box alot when i ran 70% rh now im 65% I havent had to yet. I did notice my last S&b burned badly so I'll try dry boxing the next.

Max,

Is it bad that I actually got that?

I never dry box anything. I think if you keep the smokes at 65% long enough they shouldn't need it. Eventually (and it probably takes longer with sticks in cello) the entire cigar should be 65% all the way through. Even the most oily of smokes don't need it, IMO. But again, whatever works for you!

 

[danthebugman]

Stuff with thick, oily wrappers or lots of ligero. If I think about it ahead of time, but like you mentioned most of the time cigar selection is spontaneous. Still it seems most cigars smoke alright with the humidor around 65%.

Can't dry box here as they die almost instantly in our low humidity. Worst case scenario keep aging give them 10 or 15 years at 65 and should be no smoking issues.

Wow, that's some bummer of a worst case scenario. Sure would be nice to have the discipline to reap the rewards of that one though. I can barely wait when dry boxing my annual Magnum 50 a day or two.

Not so bad. Lots of good 5 to 8 year old cigars available out there.
