I would have never thought that it would make much difference. Maybe I am imagining it, but I had a few cigars in a bunch, when I first got them, I tried smoking 2 of them and they were tight, couldn't hardly draw through them.
Now, some considerable time later, I smoke one and no problems. So I grabbed another one, got to see if I am wrong you know. Both had no problems at all.
Is it just that I pulled 2 tight ones when I got them or did the time in the humidor really help that much?

On a second note, the postman brought me a Torano Exodus in the mail. Whoo hoo!!
I am hoping it is a nice cigar, but may let it rest for a bit.

Sounds like when you first tried them,they were too wet. Humidor down time stabilized them. X

I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks!

In my experience, humidor time will improve any cigar, regardless of type or brand. Of course some cigars require more time than others........

gorob23,
I'd almost wonder that too.
But I have gotten some cigars that we just right when I got them.
I guess I will just put them all in their different humidors as soon as I get them and let them rest for a while.
Seems like after a few weeks, they seem better.

I am glad that there is a reason for what it seemed to me and I was not just imagining it.
I will now be a little more prudent in making certain they sit for a while.

Hmmmmm...

For me, I usually just let my CBid stuff sit in the humidor for a day or two and its perfectly fine.

I've never had to sit 'gars in there for weeks or anything to stablize them.

So only a few days is needed?
I think it may be the area a person is in too.
The normal humidity here is between 60-90%.
So that may have something to do with it??
Don't know. :)

After a couple of years in the humi, an extremely horrible cigar becomes only very bad.
