What the RH in the room your cigars are in, you can always opn the humidor and get them to a different RH, if it’s got a good seal and the RH s steady you might not need the packs. I got in a bunch of boxes and they were all “warehouse damp” and screwed my cabinet, 65% humidity in that room i just left the door open for a few days and let everything come down then closed it back up.

Ashton VSG Spellbound and a Cortado
Rome & Juliet 1875 Magnum early morning while Zero Turning, been cutting 5 acres every 10 days with the rain we’ve been having, not complaining we needed the rain.
Partagas Petit Coronas Extra for a nice ride home through the Sierra Nevadas
I haven't seen many pictures of these since the original pre-release parties, but you pull these out regularly. When did the boxes finally become available? I gave up on waiting, and then when the price increase was announced, I knew it would be a non-starter.
Low friends in high places! Haven't seen them at LCDHs but then I haven't looked lately, can't afford the crap they are putting out. The new 55th Anniversary Cohiba lists for 300 a stick, i was gifted one out of the factory, looks like shit, can't bring myself to smoke it even though i was taught early on "It's better to say you smoked a great cigar than to say you have a great cigar". I was buying Davidoff No 1s for $50 a piece not that long ago even those were special occasion birthday or herf cigars, I am afraid to see what they go for now. Last of Mitchel's auctions i bothered to look at the prices made me sick.
Ever since the Asian market decided that vintage / rare Cubans were a status symbol the prices have been untouchable for us normies. The last cuban davidoffs i bought i got a partial box of No 1s, 9 sticks for $600 and that was a steal 4 years ago, the collectors wouldn't touch the partial boxes they only wanted sealed boxes so they could stack them on display in their offices and impress their friends, but they didn't smoke them, it's status and and a commodity to them. Look at pictures of the Habanos festivals now compared to 10 years ago or even a few years ago, mostly Asian ballers now.
First Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro. Enjoying it with my oldest, 22. He’s moving to Texas for his first career job. I like that he can enjoy a premium cigar in moderation. He still likes cheap beer with his friends, but understands sipping a good bourbon with me.
Relaxing on the porch with the pup. Having an Asylum Lobotomy 770 Maduro (7" x 70).
Rocky Patel Vintage 2003 Cameroon Robusto with a black coffee.

One of life‘s best pleasures- the gas station cigar
Going to have a Diesel Salomon (7.2" x 58) on the porch.
H.Upman on a rainy, stormy afternoon. Drinking a Coke, trying to reason with the hurricane season.
Correction: 7.1"
Still enjoying this relaxing smoke outside on the porch. I had to use annual leave at the 9 to 5 gig or lose it.
I'll probably head inside after I finish and switch to a pipe and start working on some book covers.
Rojas Carnitas with a cup of Rwandan coffee
Thank you for the correction, but don't let it happen again.
Tailend of a '15 Por Larrañaga Montecarlos - still one of the best cigars I've ever had 99% of the time. This year's tobacco crop in the background. Fixing to start priming the Virginia this weekend.
