Default Re: Dried out cigar question

Squeezing cigars does not reliably tell you very much and you risk damaging the wrapper. Try cutting the cigar and checking the draw. If it draws OK try smoking it. If it smokes well then don't worry.

If the draw is not OK or it does not smoke well, try adjusting the RH. BTW, it is OK to put a cut cigar back in your humidor.

If you are worried make sure to test/calibrate/adjust your hygrometer. Hygrometers change over time as the batteries drain.

In all likelyhood your cigars are probably fine.
