I have noticed a trend in my humidor, and I wanted to see if anybody else has experienced this. I have a single humidor with an adequate humidifier in it which does a great job of maintaining 70% humidity + or - 2%. This being said, I have noticed that some cigars still seem a bit "crunchy" even at perfect humidity and while other cigars are just perfect. I've noticed this the most with the light Connecticut wrapped cigars.

Has anybody else noticed this? I have dividers in between the different types of cigars, so I don't think that one type is sucking the moisture through direct contact. Other than that, I have no idea what's going on.

Rotation is the issue. I move my smokes around to ensure adequate distribution of humidity. I even rotate them (label down) and them back up about every two weeks.

This is what works for me.

Rick told me to rotate. I haven't tried it yet. But the ploomidoor has a circ fan.
