Wow, I feel dumb.

Well lately I've been having a rather bad time cigar wise. All of my smokes even my favorites start out great then progress to a flavor I can only describe as 'sulfuric'. Thought I was smoking too fast and overheating them so I slowed down. Same problem. Then it dawned on me that the recent bout of high humidity outside (around 91 RH at the moment) might have something to do with it. I must have torched around 20 or so cigars before I came to this realization. Shame it happened but at least I found out about it. I'll be making a trip to my local B&M tomorrow to pick up some replacements and enjoy their (properly humidified) smoking lounge.
I've heard people talk about not wanting to smoke when it's really humid outside. I never let that stop me. I haven't really noticed a difference. It's always humid here in Houston.
Can a cigar really absorb that much moisure that quick?
Sometimes. I've never had it happen to the degree that VincenteFox has recently but I have had them swell and split the wrappers. Mostly I note this on larger ring gauge smokes - very rarely on smaller ring gauges. Ron

I'd be willing to bet the splitting/swelling is directly proportional to the length of time exposed to severe humidity. (ie small ring gauge are alive alot less time then the big boys)
I have had sticks split on me. Right on the spot. The Bolivar lonesdale in that review did. It started splitting beore I got very far in.
