Burn Problem with a Cigar from CI

When I saw that there were 13 responses to this topic, I thought I'd gotten lucky to receive that much feedback.

But then I find that the thread had been threadjacked by a rather racist Indian weather sign that portrays American Indians as dim-witted.

Can we please return to the topic at hand?

I have tested my hygrometers using both the salt method and with the Boveda test kit, the latter on the advice of the owner of Heartfelt Beads; he said there are too many uncontrolled variables with the salt test.

I shudder to think about the slim margin for error in taking the caps off the ends of the cylinders, as as you say, they are stuffed with beads.

But I'd like to verify that the beads are properly hydrated.

I really don't understand you, Wallbright. How do you get the caps off without disturbing the beads inside them; and as you say that you then remove the rest of the beads, how is this accomplished when the beads in the cylinders appear to me to be held in place in their "bead pockets."

Sorry I am not the best at explaining things. I hope this video helps clear it up. These are Heartfelt beads in the small and XL tubes.

Bill86, of course your post was on-topic; what I'm referring to as threadjacking are all the posts with the Indian weather sign.

The "weather rock" post was not an attempt to threadjack but rather to metaphorically comment on an earlier post in this thread. I do not see the racism in it, and my motivations in posting were in no way racially motivated. However, I apologize openly to you and anyone who may have found it offensive.
