Sorry for the smart ass answer....Sometimes, especially with the Connecticut or other thinner wrappers, the re-humidifying process will take longer. Often it does take longer than one might think to re-condition them after shipping. Also, some wrappers are just paper thin and hopeless. This happens on rare samples of good brands as well as cheaper ones. I do not use the 50/50 solution in my smaller 'dors as I find it imparts a certain odor. It is usefull in the bigger ones though. Try a jar....that is good advice. The trick is to make the transfer gradual. Remember, an airtight jar will take far less maintenance (i.e. humidification) to maintain a 70% humidity than wood or larger-area 'dor.
