So, I've read a bunch of threads here, and a bunch of reviews and it seems to be a common theme to let cigars sit in the humi for several weeks after you purchase them before lighting them up. While this seems to be common practice, I'd like to understand why everyone seems to do that. I don't know that I can tell the difference between lighting up a cigar I bought that day, or letting it sit in my humi for a few weeks. Maybe I'm missing something, or more likely, my palate is not refined enough to tell the difference.
Also, when leaving the sticks in the humi for a few weeks, do you rotate them at all, or just let them sit? I seem to have occasional burn problems and while some of it is my still developing lighting technique, I'm wondering if part of the problem may be the cigars sitting in the same place for a long period of time. Something to the effect of more of the oils settling to one side or the other, causing an uneven burn.
Again, I'm just wondering if I might be doing something wrong. I realize that with a handmade, natural product, there are always going to be deviations and maybe it's just part of the deal. Thanks in advance for any help.
