i got a box of the churchhills about 2 months ago of cbid. Taste is great very complex. But the constructiion is lacking/ the wraper is very thin and ters very easy, it even pulls away where i hold the cigar and on my lips? it also burns poorly and mushrooms the first inch somtimes causing a split?
All the other sticks in my cooler are smoking like gems so is it just a bad box or does it need more or less humidity. I have been smoking for years but im a noob at stoarge?

Could very well just be the cigar. I have some Warlords that seem to be very temperamental.

I was thinking that I heard something like this though on one of the Doc's Stogiefresh5 podcast or another than mentioned the tobacco may be young and need to rest for a little while longer?

Could just be the cigar, have not had good luck with the reds. I much prefer the Habano Oscuro La Punta in this line.

Your best shot is to keep the humidity between 60-65.

im in Iraq and humidity control may be an issue for me?...no distilled water i have a cooler24 qt with 2 72% bovedia packs in it....they are the easiest thing i know 2 use out here and my other sticks smoke great. Ill try and go down in humidity when i replace my packs this month?

dude someone switched them with tatuajes! lol

Someone on that base has distilled water. Luckily for me my radar that I worked on requires use to make a coolant mix of distilled water / glycol so we always had really really expensive distilled water.

There has to be some piece of equipment there that has to use it.

Thin wrappered cigars require lower humidity, and it sounds like this is one. Smoked a couple reds when they came out, and they didn't suit me so don't recall from personal experience, I do smoke the Blue and Green, which are thick wrappered, like most Nicaraguans.
