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.
