5 Vegas Miami – Churchill

Col K. (or any one...)
I've never dry boxed any smokes.
How long do you dry box? Do you actually leave it in a dry box (no beads) for a few days? Or in a box with just a lower RH?

Cheers,
Michael

Maybe others with more experience will chime in... I have a small (freebie) humidor that is not seasoned and doesn't have any humi devices that I keep on my desk. I try to run my DPG humi at 63 or so, so most are good to go at that level. If I have a larger RG one, or one that is fresh off the truck, I'll generally put it in there a day or two before I think I want to smoke it. By then I usually have changed my mind and put it back from whence it came.

Thanks for the info. I wonder if the wooden box that RP Connecticuts came in would work as well. Time to search...

I would have to assume so. But it's the Churchill size. How did you like the Knuckle?

I just ordered a fiver of the petite corona size, but my go to smoke has been the Torp for the past few months. I always notice a distinct note of cocoa after the first half, and I have the palette of a billygoat. Maybe that was the flavor you couldn't put your finger(nose/tongue) on?
