I've come pretty close to just stopping smoking as I haven't had a good stick in the last 4 smokes. The main reason, is even though the hygrometer says it's 65 to 70% (depending on the temp, it's been a colder then normal winter here) my cigars seem to be as dry as a bone. In the warmer weather I've tried 3 on my beck deck and didn't even get 1/4 through them as they were awful. (Not junk, Ligas. LFD, and so on) They were Dry, one crumbled under mild pressure.
Sooo....
I went and got some xikar beads and glycol solution. (I had been using distilled water) I emptied the humi, lighty sponged the inside of it with the solution and let it sit for about an hour. Then put the cigars back in and attached the bead container. This morning the hygro read 72% which is the highest its been in awhile. (pretty sure I bo 70% beads)
How long do you think I should leave them alone?
