You ever had a bad dream where you're trying to smoke a cigar and it's just falling apart in your hand? Well, I have, and today it came true.
So I got a 5 pack of LP T52s a couple of days ago. They came with a 69% Boveda pack and I put them in my 65% humidor for a couple of days.
I know you should let them sit for a couple of weeks at least but I decided to try one "ROTT" today just so I know what it would be like.
I read about dry boxing and decided to leave one out for 4 hours in a cedar rack before I smoked it.
Well, this happened. The wrapper cracked at every place possible; the head, the foot, the body, everywhere. The burn was horrible all around and it was easily the worst cigar smoking experience ever.
Anyway, my question is was the cigar too dry or too humidified? Is there a way to know?
I suspect it was just shocked. Too many changes in a short time but I don't know for sure. Can anyone help? Has this happened to any of you?
