Rolled a few the other day, using a mold, 2 were a bit tight, didn't have a nice draw. So I unwrapped them and just left them to sit outside the humidor, with the understanding that they will relax a bit, without the wrapper, to see if the draw will improve.
They stayed outside for about a week in our almost no humidity air, wrapped one last night, and it differently improved the draw.
Now the question!!
That cigar was dry, no humidity for a week, and it was a nice smoke.
Why do we keep our cigars in a humidor? A lot of cheap cigars and cigarettes are not kept in humidors. Is it necessary to keep the cigars in humidors?
The ones that are not kept in humidors, with a little cellophane pouch (that I`m sure don't keep humidity in) are they much different ( tobaccos etc) from the ones kept in humidors?
I know the humidor is supposed to keep the oils etc moist and prevent them from drying out.
Just a thought!!!
