Dry boxing?

[oooo35980]

I've actually had decent luck with the shipped ones, it's the b&m ones that are always a bear to smoke, relights, tight draws, and whatnot, I'm definately going to buy some low RH beands and commit a humidor to dry boxing.

I'm fighting with a viaje tnt as we speak, got it from toh and if the sumbich goes out one more time I'm gonna throw it out the window. I'm having to smoke it a bit fast to keep it lit and it is kicking my ass. If it wasn't so delicious I'd have pitched it already. Never should have started it with only 2 days in the humidor, but couldn't resist.

I totally entered this thread with the wrong intentions, but I have learned some good tips. Thanks for keeping me honest.

I would say since you live in a high humidity environment that you use a hair dryer to dry your low RH beads out and then only add a small splash of distilled water to them. You're beads will soak up enough RH just from the ambient environment and should make it easier to dry box if they are not already wet.

Of course,I am just guessing, this is just what I would do... It's 20% humidity this time of year here, so it's pretty easy to drybox. lol

Anything wrong with throwing the stick in the refrigerator, with or without a box? I would imagine that should be a much drier environment and would work in a pinch.
