    If I find a hygrometer and see it showing reasonable conditions I suppose I should try one.

    Personal opinion, better over humidfied than under!
    Over humidifier can be brought down. Under humidfied = oils dried out.

    And you can always wipe the 'plume' off with a rag... unless it's all over the foot...

    It's just a stock photo.

    I have a few boxes though that were stored with a 69 boveda in a plastic bucket. All the cigars from a certain region began to mold. I caught it in time, smoked the worst of them and wiped the rest down good and proper. Then i changed to 65 packs and haven't had a recurrence. IMO high humidity is bad news... However as a purchaser, at least you can see mold. You can't see oxidized or evaporated oils.

    Used to use the 69% Bovedas but switched to 65’s as some smokes just seemed a bit hard to smoke and was told 69 could have been an issue. Haven’t seemed to have it happen since...

    I learned early from most of the BOTL here at our former home the 65 or lower is better!
    Much better burn unless there are construction issues.

    Wow, that is easily one of the nastiest cigar pics I have ever seen, and I've seen some bad ones. Can I use this for a possible future "caption this" post on our BCP Facebook page?

    Feel free as far as I'm concerned but it's just a stock pic off the web. Idk who owns it.

    Yeah, I saw that you had said that after I posted. Also, I decided not to horrify the good denizens of our Facebook community with this ghastly image.
