Sticks unwrapping

[hed]

Great plan!

I left the humi open yesterday. The ambient RH is 53%. Not sure how long it takes the RH in the sticks to lower, but smoking another now and it draws and burns well but deffinitely swells and destroys the wrapper.

Try dry-boxing the sticks you're going to smoke for a few hours.....maybe a day or so. It should help while your humi/sticks are stabilizing at a lower RH.

Without the wrapper it looks like I'm sucking on a decaying corpse's finger.

FYI: Open humi for about 24 hours and there is a definite sign of improvement. Ambient RH is 53% inside and 48% outside. Wrapper still cracks slightly on my everyday-sticks but stays intact. More expensive sticks were affected earlier so I assume they'll take longer to recover. New 60% beads should arrive early next week; good timing for humidity level but I assume will require additional time to relax at new RH. MT certainly requires a lower RH than AR, but I suspect the higher altitude lowers it even further. It's looking like everything will be back under control. Thank you all.
