Somewhere down in Texas
Last night I smoked a Carlos Torano Virtuosio Churchill. It was kept at 65%RH for about 6 weeks. I took it out of the humidor, went to my truck, drove to the gas station, filled up my truck, got in then lit up. Total time was about 15 minutes. The temp. outside was about 75 degrees, high humidity and misting rain.
For the next 2 hours, the cigar would tunnel out and I had to relight 5 TIMES. I finally let it burn out and threw it away. 5 TIMES!
Could the short time out of the humidor in higher humidity cause this? I was highly dissapointed.
I usually maintain a solid 70/65. If my temp. drops to 69, the RH drops to 64%. If my temp. drops to 67, my RH will actually climb to 67-68% RH. This usually occurs for a short period of time tho.
Tunneling is something I've kinda gotten used to but only having to relight once. Some smokes don't require relighting at all.
Any insight into this would be appreciated.
