First of all I want to say what a great board this is.

heres the question.

I have been smoking cigars for about a year now and i have had a couple of cigars that split when they were sitting in the humi and i don't know why and i would like to try to stop them from doing this if i can. The humidity level has been staying right around 70% and the warmth has been staying right around 65-70.

thanks in advance

Sounds like they might have been bone dry when you put them in the humi. I had a couple do that to me. When you try to bring them back too quick they sometimes split on you. My 2 cents.

wrappers seem to split from humidity shifts, from my experience. sometimes it depends on where your humidifier is located in your humidor, as to which cigars split.

in my 150 ct humi, the humidifiers are located on the back of the drawers, and sometimes after i have refilled them, it seems the cigars closest to them take in more humidity, and split when they lose it. usually, only at the feet, as thats the closest part to the humidifiers.

just my .02
