Ok, now we are getting somewhere.
First, 69rh is too high. There are azz clowns who swear by the 70/70 rule……………they don’t know chit.
Now, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say you don’t own a $1,000+ hygrometer.
Most likely you have a regular analog, or digital one that cost you less than $50.
Regular cheapo hygrometers are NOT spot on, typically off by 1-3%, or more!
So, your hygro says your humi is at 69, but maybe it’s off by 2%, so it might actually be 71.
See where I’m going?
69 is waaaay to close to the danger zone.
Drop your RH to 65………sooner than later.
Many here go for low 60s.
In the mean time, dry box cigars that are giving you trouble, until you get your storage down to 65.
Dark thick Oscuro, maduro, and broadleaf wrappers REALLY SUQ at high RH….taste funky and burn like chit.
Mid to low 60s is best for them.
Connies are OK at slightly higher RH levels, and actually aren’t that great at real low RH imho.
What do you use for humidity control?
Finally, there are, in my opinion, better options, at similar prices, than the cigars you listed above.
Just sayin….
