I've got a Tupperdor with 50 cigars and a couple Boveda 69% packs in it. The cigars have been in the Tupperdor for one month or more so I think the RH in the cigars has normalized with the RH in the Tupperdor. I don't have a hygrometer so I can't test the actual RH in the container. The Tupperdor is about 75% full, maybe a little less. Most or all of my cigars are Robusto's, 50 - 52mm ring size, several different brands.
When I smoke a cigar and I try to do the 1 puff per minute thing, after a short while, the cigar seems to go out and I need to do the puff, puff, puff, thing to keep the cigar lit. As a newbie and reading all I can on this site, I've learned that the puff, puff, puff, thing isn't good. I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong. One (or several) of the posts mentioned it was better to smoke a cigar at closer to 60% RH rather than the 69% I store mine at. Is this accurate and would a small relative RH change keep the cigar lit better? I'm open to suggestions. If I should be storing my cigars at a different RH (different Boveda pack), or I should have a separate smaller Tupperdor that I keep at a lower RH with the next 1 - 3 cigars (for example) I plan to smoke, or something else???
Thanks,
Ken
