Today I reached into one of my desktop humidors for something to enjoy and decided upon an A.J. Fernandez New World Connecticut. The cigar was completely wrapped and sealed in cello. When I picked it up the bottom third of the cigar was extremely soft unlike anything else in my humidor. Right now the RH in the humidor is 68% with a freshly calibrated hygrometer.
I’m kind of at a loss for what happened to this or if there is in fact anything actually wrong. I’ve just never felt a cigar this soft in the bottom third. The upper third felt fine and again this thing was in sealed cellophane. I checked the other cigars in the humidor and everything else seemed ‘normal’ to me. I’m including a picture. Cigar smelled normal after removing it from the cello. Right now I have it sitting outside my humidor in case there is something off with it. Pulled a Hoyo De Monterrey from the same humidor and smoked it this afternoon and it was fantastic. Any ideas?
