HMM

I have a box of Cohiba robusto's that have been kept at 70 to 75 percent RH for about 6 months. I think if I slowly bring the RH back down to 65 they should be fine. Whats everyone think.

Re: HMM

You should be fine, give them about 5 to 6 weeks when you get the rh down to 65 since the filler will take much more time to give up some of its water than the binder or wrapper will. Smoke them too soon and you will get a real tight draw and probably exploding wrappers as the filler expands at a greater rate than the binder and wrapper.

Re: HMM

Have you smoked one yet? If they were kept in a box the humidity might not have reached that level. Do they seem wet? It might not be a problem.
Send me those and I'll check em for ya.
