Careful Humidifying Advice

What's wrong with just putting them in your humidor and letting it restore them?

If they're significantly lower in RH than the humidor, the wrappers will split due to the filler and binder expanding faster than the wrapper wanting to.

Not a pretty sight, and please don't ask me how I know. 'Cause it's embarassing.

If they were packed with a humidpak, they are fine.

If the humipak isn't dried out the smokes rh should be ok. If I were you I would be more worried about what temps the smokes have been exposed to in the last 4 weeks. You may want to see if the PO can give you any tracking info for the trip they were just on.

If they've been over 80 degrees for any significant amount of that time you may have a beetle issue on the horizon.

Yes, there was a Fuente humidipak in there.

This time of the year, I would highly doubt if there were any 80's between Tenneesee and here, and for sure there were no extended periods.

So I'm guessing I should be OK then??

Thanks guys.
