What Was Your First Box Purchased?

5 Vegas Gold Maduro churchills, which I then promptly destroyed by putting a humi-pillow in the box for several days, awaiting room in my humidor. Horrible burn problems later (as in, it wouldn't stay lit even under constant flame from a dual torch butane lighter) I realized just how wet they had become. After dry boxing for a week I can sort of smoke one, with 'only' 20 or so relights. Yep, I messed them up that badly!

It can be saved my friend, you just need to get them back to the proper humidity level. Gonna need to be patient, it's hard I know.

Sad but true. If you put them in your humidor (assuming it is holding proper humidity) they will eventually level out to the correct humidity. Put them in and let them sit for about 2-3 weeks and they should be good to go.

Thanks for the advice! They're in my humidor now. It's a small one, but it has a good seal, a freshly-calibrated digital hygrometer, and it's holding steady within +/- 1% at 65% with beads. Just have to be patient. Better go buy some that are ready to smoke!

I would bury those for at least a month in your humi Greg. Since they won't burn right your not going to be smoking them anyway. Say goodbye for a bit and let them rest in a stable environment.
