Hey guys and/or gals, new kid in town...
I mantain a pretty well stocked 50 count humidor. Not a bad one, but not top of the line, either. It was given to me as a gift from the wife. A Thompson rosewood 50ct, cedar lined, hygrometer, etc. I keep the humidor in my room, which has a seperate AC unit (if you know anything about Louisiana, extra AC is a God-send) that I keep at 70 degrees. My hygrometer is well maintained at 70%. Here's my problem...
I find when I pull a stick out to go burn one, whenever I remove the band, 85% of the time, the wrapper cracks and splits on me, like it was dry. I have gone so far as to recalibrate my hygrometer, and change solutions, and still no change in the wrapper cracking after removal of the band.
Any thoughts??
