I've looked up threads and seen where people keep their cigars at 65 humidity well I live in texas and I keep it at 70 humidity but my smokes seem soft and wet and I can't find much on dry boxing. Thing is I get nervous about leaving them in a dry box with texas weather does anyone got any pointers?

IMHO don't dry box it only dries out the wrapper then you have the core high and the wrapper low in moisture. Keep them where you smoke them I like 65% to 68% YMMV

Is there a reason you store you cigars at 70%?

What does Texas weather have to do with dry-boxing? Is the air naturally more humid than in your humi? Drop the Rh in your humi to 62-65%

Dry-boxing helps with cigars that are wet. I dry-box my Johnny-O cigars for example. The length of time depends on how wet the cigar feels and it's size. For example the Butifarra's I will dry-box for 8-10hrs at 50%, the Genios longer at 15-18hrs. Have a Genios resting for tonight that will have been dry-boxed for 24hrs wrapped in cedar sleeves. Some folks will dry-box cigars from new boxes, bundles, and 5'ers delivered to enjoy "ROTT" as most are delivered over-humidified. IME dry-boxing can help bring out more flavors from the cigar, and improve the draw.

Try it. Experiment with the time for your cigar and conditions. You can't hurt the cigar.

Good luck.
