o ok...like the blackwoods...might have to try these dry cigars...keep them at the office

Just like the Blackwoods but much denser.

Not that I've noticed. Toscanos and Toscanellos are also dry cigars although they have been wet fermented and they're very smooth.

I have a toscano from secret santa and had it in my humidor, will it be bad now then?

Bit of a daft question coming now. Dry cigars? What defines them as dry cigars? Do they need to be stored in a humidor? If not just in a dark cool place?

It should be fine, I keep mine in a humidor for convenience

Once upon a time all cigars were dry then aficianados realised it would be a good idea to recreate the humidity of Cuba where they were made and the rest is cigar history of course. Dry cigars are sold off the shelf and don't require humidification. You see them a lot on holiday in the Canaries. They can be stored in your humidor but don't need to be. I imagine humidifying would slow down the burn though I haven't experimented to find out.

Just as an addendum to the above, I have dry cigars from the 70s that are still smokable albeit fast burning.

I have in fact done this experiment on a small scale. I've kept several sizes of cgars own brand Dutch a few in, and a few out of a tuppador. The burn slows down a bit, and that can take the rough edge off a dry cigar. However, it's no deal breaker and it's reassuring that they're pretty resilient sticks.

Think I need to speak to my Dutch and Belgium friends and see what they can do for me
