2 things: 1) marriage is a myth according to most Cigar types.

2) Poppa puff, when are we all partying at your place with your 5000 cigars?

I like firm cigars. But its got to do more with the way it was rolled than the humidity more than likely.

Provided they're allowed to settle in your humidor for a while, the difference in "sponginess" you feel may be due more to how they're made/rolled. It's unlikely that some are really moister than others, just rolled with different tightness.

I don't like too stiff of a cigar. I think this is more an issue of the rolling job than humidity. Over time, the cigars will adjust to the humidity of your humidor. Some say that one week is long enough to acclimate the cigars, but I found two weeks is minimum. I'm not one to discredit Poppapuff, but if it were me, I'd take the cello off. But my sticks don't last more than a couple of months inside my humidor and I'm not worried about it.
