Dry Boxing

My experience with Padron is they are so well made, they don't need a dry box treatment. The question; "...have you EVER had a plugged Padron..??..". My answer is no. Can't see how it'd hurt, but not particularly beneficial. One guy's opinion...
 
I received a box of Cuban cigars which were horribly plugged. They were a nice box code but were all plugged ..... every single one. The vendor replaced the box which was cool.

I wondered if any of these could be saved as they ranged between badly plugged to sucking on a wooden stick. I cut them all so I could test the draw and they have been in a 62% box for a month and still not smokable.

I'm curious if 58% would help, I'm curious if they are already history after a month at 62%, I'm curious how an entire box is plugged like this?

This is why everyone should have a Perfect Draw tool…

Makes me question why the box code is referred to as good. Have there been other boxes coded the same that justify it? I mean you said the whole box... that's pretty unusual for any code imo.
 
I took one of the ones that you could draw through slightly and, with a perfect draw, took out enough stuff to make a small cigar.

These will be going in the trash. I got the draw to be acceptable but it just tasted like a dried out cigar.
 
Question : I'm using a travel humidor(otter box) to dry box. I have one or two 62% boveda's in there. They have remained soft for months, so I know the seal is spot on.

Do you guys open your dry box every so often to let out the "extra" moisture? I ask because the plastic won't absorb it, the foam won't, and if the packets are soft, they prolly won't either. Where does the humidity go?

I had a stick in there for a week or so, lit it, and it still had a bit of "mush" feel at the foot. Thoughts?

I have an OtterBox in my golf bag that kind of turns into a dry box. I don't put any bovedas in there, just fill it when it gets empty. I've had good luck with it
