Morning panic!

Just a further tip, you mentioned rolling the cigar to test humidity, you are not Leslie Carron, squeeze gently between two fingers will reveal if it feels rock solid, gives slightly, or gives alot. Rolling will damage the wrapper, espeocally in a slightly dry stick.

I use a slight roll when testing my cigars, and have never damaged a single one, not even dry ones. I think people squeeze them too hard.

Yeah, that is worth bearing in mind Simon, thanks. Got the humidity up to just under 60% and things seem a lot better. Phew!

I don't think I'd ever really listened to my cigars under a little pressure so when I heard them crackle a little I assumed the worst.

Glad everything started to get worked back out Styler! I can imagine the panic you must have felt. As said however, Cigars are a lot more robust than we seem to think sometimes....Thankfully!

At least you caught it with enough time to do something about it!
