Dry boxing is definitely a fascinating concept, but I rarely practice dry boxing for the simple fact that I keep my humidors at 62% I like your set up though!
That’s even better. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts brother 🙏🏻
Love this video. ImD luv and wife have awesome dry boxing content as well!
Thanks Sir!
Thanks Eric! And yeah man Dluv and his wife are the masters 🫡
Cutting the cigar before resting or dry boxing them is the best way to do it in my opinion. Mine can vary between 3 and 5 percent from tip to foot otherwise. It seems to prevent those smokes that fail in the final third or need a relight. (As far as infused cigars go, I don’t usually buy them. However, my guilty pleasure are the Nub Nuance. That coffee flavor can be pretty nice from time to time. Especially early in the morning).
That’s correct cutting the cap works also since the cigar is allowed to breathe on both ends. I tend to do that for stubborn cigars that won’t acclimate properly and it shouldn’t be done to change the RH more than 5% IMO. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience brother! 🫡
I initially thought my area’s humid, year-round climate would make dry-boxing unnecessary. However I’ve had my share of inconsistent burns and re-lights going into the last third of the cigar. I’m going to invest in a humidimeter and give it a shot.
It’s a great tool specially for the cap/tip of the cigar and along with the visual checks your cigars will always burn nice and even. Cheers my friend!
GREAT INFO!! Thanks for making a video on this!!
My pleasure and thank you for watching and commenting brother! 🙏🏻
@@Hugosmokes would I be able to use a cigar box for this as well? Or is it recommended to have something with a solid seal like a tupperdore (I have a few spare tuppwedore so will start with that)
@@Matinthemorning1 Hey Mat that’s a great question, in general the container type is not as important as the size of the container used. The idea of “drying out” cigars is have enough open space to allow the humidity to flow out of the cigar at a constant rate. In general you want to make sure the volume of the container is at least 10x the volume of your cigars to allow proper flow. Remember this should be a slow and steady process so that the RH% is as consistent as possible throughout your sticks. In generally I store my overstock at no more than 65%RH so I’m only extracting about 5%RH which is ideal. Also, remember that most cigar boxes usually don’t have consistent seal all around so the air flow will vary. Placing cedar inside your tupperdor dry box and periodically opening the lid to check your cigars will help extract excess humidity in the box as well. Does this make sense? Hope it helped and feel free to DM on my IG anytime. Cheers my brother. 😮💨🍁🙏🏻
KUBA KUBA How dare you!?!?! lol Dude smoke what you like who cares what people think. This was a great video and very informative. I need to start doing that too. I smoke mine straight out of Compton... I mean my humidor. Thanks for making this video. Saludos Hermano!!
I actually smoked one fresh out the pack and it really knocked me off my feet I think it had too much nicotine or it wasn’t ready to smoke so I’m gonna try round two let’s see how it goes yes you definitely need to try it go boxing is the best
Here My Boi
What’s up Steve
@@Hugosmokes Great Video Bro
@@steveayon9173 thank you sir. Have a blessed day 🙏🏻
@@Hugosmokes You Also Brother.
Thanks for the video, I live in a very humid climate. My humidor is 65%RH and my cigar boxes outside are reading 71%RH. With this in mind, is there any way for me to dry box or would it be counter productive?
Throw in a low RH humidity(62% or less)device like a Boveda pack. They are designed to release but also to absorb excess moisture (2-way). Remember your dry box should have a good seal like the one I use in the video and make sure u monitor your sticks occasionally til they reach your desired smoking condition. It’s hard work but very rewarding to smoke a perfectly conditioned cigar. Hope this helps brother and thanks for watching and commenting. 🫡🙏🏻
Thanks bro! One more question, would you dry box cigars with a Connecticut shade wrapper? I saw these cigars are better stored in higher humidity
@@al1961 great question I prefer to smoke lighter shade wrappers at a higher RH% (58-62%) than darker shades and they do well for me. Some cigars are delivered already around that RH so no need to dry box. From my experience darker blends trend to hold more moisture than the lighter ones. If you smoke a cigar at an RH way lower than optimum it tends to not taste good. Hope this helps brother.

Good vid Hugo
Thank you Josh I appreciate the feedback
Nice video 🫡
Thank you sir! 🙏🏻
What’s going on
Hola 👋
Primero!!
The humidity in my house is 15% higher than my humidor. Dry boxing does nothing for me. Same for all other humid states.
Are you using a separate sealed container to dry box? If so the outside humidity should not influence container's humidity given your environment temperature is not too hot.
