Re: Shade wrapper splitting...

I would retest all your hygros just to confirm - they can be anywhere from 1% off to as much as 15% off.

Hope this helps

btw-the "Short" Puck will fit in the lid of the humidification jar, leaving more room for a couple of sticks
Thanks for the info! Funny thing is that I've also had some that unravel......I wonder if it was where they were stored prior to me. These were in the CM Cigar Mania goodie bag. I usually buy the darker thicker wrappers because they hold up better for me and well....I like the taste!!

(I liked the plug for the "short" Puck)
