I checked my hands to make sure it wasnt me since I had tacos a few hours before and my hands were clean - no cheese smell there.

I keep all my cigars in a 200 count humidor at 68-degree and between 70 to 73 humidity. My hygrometer checks out and is acurate.

All the R.Patels are in celo.

Any ideas what it could be from?

thanks!

Never heard of that before. Are they perhaps mold or something like that? 70-73% RH seems a little high. Try lowering it at least 7%.

That is assuming that your hygrometer is bang on.
