These hauls. You guys are the best worst influences in the world. So many great choices. Trying something new tonight. Very very new.  Ok I don't know much about pipe smoking... new experience I had to try. Very different. Something new!

SF member Pipe Smoker had a couple of fantastic threads over the years on pipe smoking. See if you can find them, or post a 'Pipe Smoker courtesy phone' thread in the lounge. I learned a lot from him. | |||

The tobacco was "Frog Morton on the Boyou" The pipe and the tobacco was a gift, so I had to give it a shot. I don't think I packed it well enough. It took a lot of matches. Once it was going it wasn't bad though. I could see me keeping it around for shorter smokes. I think I got one of those joke exploding cigars tonight:  I got this guy in a cigar trade and I think the humidity was all kinds of wrong. Not sure exactly what happened here, but I've never had one come apart quite like this. I let it go out and cut behind the explosion, and it did the same thing again. Glad it wasn't something I spent a lot of money on.

If a cigar is exposed to a quick change in relative humidity say, going from 50% to 80% in a short timeframe, upon drying back, the wrapper will often times crack or "explode". Not saying that's what happened to yours, but could explain it. | |||

I think you're right - but I keep my humidity closer to 67%. I think it was just a bit dried out when I got it. I probably could have caught it before it went into the humidor but missed it.

I am nowhere NEAR an expert, but maybe you could bump your humidity level up closer to 70%? If this is the first stick you've had do this, them maybe your setting of 67% is fine, but I've always kept mine at 70% with nary an issue. I'm sure if you ask 5 different cigar smokers about humidor humidity, you'll get 5 different answers...  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

You would be correct. We had this discussion about a hundred pages ago! Lol! Humidity depends on the cigar too. Some like it dry and others like it moist. I keep my humidor at at 67 or 68, though there is a chart out there I was going to ask about. https://vigilantinc.com/cigar-...-and-temperature.php Anyone follow this rule? I am smoking a Viaje birthday blend. It tastes like a birthday cake! | |||

That was discussed here before and I believe that is why i keep my humidors at 65-66 rh, we keep the house at roughly 72 so its always 73° in my humidors. There will be whores, tits and sex. | |||

Being in Houston, it's damned near IMPOSSIBLE to get below 70% in my humidor w/o some real effort...as in let my credo dry out for months. And I never set the a/c below 77-ish in the summer. Yeah...it's warm in my house, but the electric bill stays low. And I use ceiling fans... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

Holy cow. I can't imagine having the problem of too MUCH humidity. Right now in the house we are sitting at 35%. I've got 16 320g Boveda packs in my "wineador" to keep things right.

Erj pilot, the 65 or 66 boveda packs work great, also use a smaller moisture source. There will be whores, tits and sex. | |||

^^^^^^^ Copy that...thanks Jay. I'm running an "old school" credo in a Montecristo humidor and keep it charged with distilled water on a monthly basis. It runs right at 70% humidity and gets a little lower only when I forget to charge it. So far, so good lo these many years. I've had that humidor setup since late 2002/early 2003. Given what y'all are saying, I won't worry too much if the humidity dips to 67%. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.
