Things I thought I knew about cigars and how I was wrong

[Ilroy]

I for one thought that more humidity was better...if 70% is the norm, then a little higher must be better - WRONG!!...Glad I found this group of folks at the old site before I started holding any cigars for any length of time. I'da had beetles and/or mold all over the place.

And I've learned that 65 is the new 70 when it comes to humidity. I used to target for 70 and just figured up to 74 or so was in the ballpark. Then I couldn't understand all the burn problems I had. Now I target for 65 (and with Boveda packs now in my humidor, I'm so much closer to "set it and forget it") and feel comfortable being slightly above on occasion.

Y'all have covered most of my misconceptions. Here's another one:

Maduro = strong, Connecticut = mild. Not always the case!

Agreed. My one friend still will not believe that.
