Dry boxing

[MiamiE]

I am having a HUGE problem with mold lately on ALL tubos coming in. Finally I got a good order through though that was just super wet. No mold.

Thanks for the advice!

Just use a lower priced desktop humi or two. They usually don't seal too well anyway and will give you the needed spanish cedar but without any humidity added they will slowly bring the moisture level down. I use one and it works very well that way.

If I have cigars I'm planning to smoke that I think may be a little too humidified, I just lay them on top of a humidor for a day or two before smoking them.

It's dry boxing without the box.

I've had bad experiences with tubos and mold...moreso than a db or slb. I've been staying away from them for that reason...sucks as there are a few that I have wanted to grab.

As for the advice above, I concur...inspect and only dry box the ones you plan to smoke in the near future.

South Florida is a little different than most locations. Sometimes the humidity outside the humidor is higher than inside.

Our humidity is sitting at 14% today.

LOL... that is exactly what I was thinking. If we left our sticks out, for much of the year, the would be dripping!!

Tupperware will keep the moister inside. Use an empty cigar box. 2-3 days usually sufficient, unless your cigars are overly humidified.

This is exactly what I do and has worked well for a lot of years.
