Is the Hygro calibrated?

If it is 70% is still a bit high.

That's why I threw in the "

". My cigars seem to taste bad once they start pushing 68, 69%.

IMO, too wet. Bring the RH down.

Also, make sure the cedar boxes you are using aren't chemically treated. Those might be giving you a stink as well.

Yeah its the new item smell. I have boxes in there with some beads and the unit is on. I'm hoping the boxes will absorb the smell maybe...

Maybe try 60% beads? The swelling, cracking and unraveling of the wrapper all sound like the cigars are too wet.

This is important. Please make sure your hygro is accurate. What you are describing sounds exactly like RH is too high. May I ask what kind of hygro you have?
