Shelby07,
What RH do you prefer? Do you dry-box, if so how long before smoking?

I like to smoke a cigar at around 64-65% RH. CC's most definitely smoke better when dry boxed for at least a day, but I prefer 2 days for them. NC's I rarely find a need to dry box but as I said before, I rarely smoke anything that hasn't been in my humi for at least a month.

Ditto. I find longer dry-boxing is beneficial, for me, with broadleaf and maduro wrapped cigars than with others. I like less dry-boxing with Cameroon wrappers, I seem to get more flavor at a little higher Rh with these, though I run the risk of the occasional wrapper split but that happens rarely now.

As with all things, YMMV.
