I suspect your correct in that the wrapper problems influenced your guess. You might want to let the others sit on your humi for a while and let them stablize before smoking. Sorry about the Monty.
No need to apologize, you are probably right that the climate change had something to do with it. I suspected that #1 was the more expensive since it initially appeared to have superior construction and was much firmer than #2.

I am disappointed in myself for not recognizing the CC. I have smoked a couple of these and enjoy them, I even have a couple of robusto's in the humi right now. I've never had a Cohiba, so I can't offer any comparison between the two, but the CC, imho, is a good solid value priced smoke.
