ive recently purchased a new vector humidor and some stogies. i seasoned the humidor according to the instructions and im maintaining a proper 70 percent humidity. im pretty sure that its not always at 70 degrees but 67 to 68 at least. im having an issue with canoeing. and its not 1 or 2 or 4 cigars. today i lit the 5th straight cigar only to have it canoe. its not cheapies were talking either. a gurkha assasain, empire 2, an arturo fuente hemmingway, a rocky patel vintage 1990 and just now a macanudo maduro. can anyone help? whats going on? is my humidor not seasoned enough or properly?

Humidity way too high. 70 percent is a myth. Most here prefer low 60s. I personally like high 50s. Where the sticks bought online? If so, many E-tailers over humidify their sticks to protect them in shipment. They need to rest for a couple weeks to a month just to dry out. Heck, I've had some sticks that had to rest 6 months or more before they smoked and drew correctly.

You also may not be lighting them evenly. An uneven light can sometimes cause canoeing.

Is the burning core off center? Sometimes the ligero in the center is rolled off center, which will also cause canoeing.

70% humidity is a bit high for most people here. Some like 65, I prefer 60 myself. If you're using an analog hygrometer, they are notorious for being inaccurate.

I prefer motorboating 🖐

It's a nice activity for the fall, just make sure you bring an extra paddle or you might be up the creek without a.....

OH!!! THAT kind of canoeing! My mistake, carry on.

Were the cigars all the same? I have given up on 5V 2009 limitadas ever burning without canoeing.

As long as you don't hear banjos your golden.

yep, motorboating rules!
