I will definitely spot check more often, from now on. I looked through the humidor where the Anejo sticks were, and didn’t see anything on the cedar tray they were on. I also did a spot check of the cigars, especially the ones that were sitting up against them.

Should I take the cello off the sticks that the Anejos were sitting on, and up against? Or just leave them be, unless I see something suspicious?

I am planning to inspect EVERY cigar in that humidor tomorrow, as well as take all the trays out and inspect the wood all over. As bad as it hurts, it looks like those dozen Anejos all have it on the foot. So I will not be putting any of them back in.

I hate that I lost them, I had been letting them rest for the past 20 months. So it’s not just money lost, but time, and patience.

I’m also going to have to look through the footlocker. Take everything out of their boxes, and inspect everything. The Anejos had been in their since April 2020, I had only just moved them ( about 2 weeks ago ) to the larger unit, to start smoking them more often, since they were almost 2 years old.
