cigar poker vs dry boxing

[sikk50]

I store my cigars at 55 as well so it's rare that I get plugs, but it does happen. When you already store your sticks at 55 dry boxing is pretty pointless, you're down to poker for the most part.

Now by keeping your cigars at a lower rh you lose some of the rich flavors of a cigar which is part of the reason most people don't. I would imagine this would happen when dry boxing as well???

I think a reason people keep their cigars at a lower rh is because the flavor "pops" more. At least it does to me.

Greg,if my cigars were brittle and cracking,I would raise the humidity.

I Can't Help It That I'm "OCD"! They Do Seem To Smoke Better In The Low 60's They're At, Now.

I'll use a poker first, and if the draw is still not there, dry-box it for a few days rather than shredding it with continous poking...
