Ok here is my dilemma. I have a bunch of cigars currently in a ziplock bag that are in their own 5 sleeve ziplocks that I received from a fellow BOTL. I have a 65% Boveda pack in there and have the 2 baggies inside the big ziplock open at the top. The big bag is sealed of course. The flavors of the cigars in their have been changing and not for the better.

I am seasoning my humidor and I have 4 days left of the Boveda seasoning left to wait. Then I know I have to put a 65 in the HUMI and wait for it to stabilize. Maybe that will take another day. That being said, What can I do to get the cigars to their normal flavors again? Do I have to wait for the Humi to be ready and put them in there for a couple of weeks before I smoke another cigar that should taste great but doesn't? Is it because they are in a Ziplock with a Boveda?

Also do I keep the cigars in their individual cellophane wrappers (the ones that have them) when in the humi?

I'd say remove them from the 5 sleeve baggies. Those are good for shipping, but probably not a good way to store especially if they have cellophane on them. You could even remove the cellophane and mingle all the cigars together in one big ziplock with the 65 bovida. My thoughts...

I thought it was not good to keep the cigars right against Bovedas? And as far as no cellophane, is that the best way? Always take them out of cello?

Took them all out of cellophane put them all in the one ziplock and put the boveda inside a small open ziploc and placed it inside with the cigars. Will leave this way until humi is ready.

Also I am guessing opening and closing the large ziploc to retrieve cigars probably didnt help as RH was prob changing constantly.
