i would say being stored at 65% they are probably starting to drop in rh being closed

Even if they dropped a bit, would that cause harshness? Not sure if RH would have anything to do with the harshness, it was more like mongrel on steroids with a bucket of battery acid..lol

i personally have never smoke a dry cigar but have read they can be very harsh. depending on how long they have been resting with the caps on they could be well below 60% which i would not smoke a cigar at. did they seem dry at all??

They did not seem dry or brittle at all. My experience is opposite. I used to store and smoke at 70%, then I tried 65% and a lot of harshness and acrid went away and my CC's are even lower at 62-63%. Even with the caps on, they were kept in my wineador which is 65%.

It's possible they are just in a "sick" period of of the aging process. Open them up and give it a few months before you try another.
