For various reasons, I have not smoked a cigar for about 2 months. I have a nearly full 150 ct humi full of tobacco goodness in the bedroom closet waiting for me.
My problem:
All of my cigars now have a kind of musty/ammonia type smell.
My questions:
1. Any ideas what caused it?
2. Can these stogies be saved?
Some answers to questions that always seem to come up in these threads:
1. I store my cigars in the cello if they came with it. If they came naked, I put them in individual zip top finger baggies.
2. For humidification, I have 1/2 lb of 65% heartfelt beads.
3. I have a properly calibrated Hygroset II hygrometer. It is currently reading 71 deg/64% RH.
4. I do rotate my sticks every week-10 days.
Any advice from the fellow gorillas is much appreciated!
