Maybe the presence of the cognac is causing the hygro to give incorrect readings?
One of the original responses was about JUST THAT. For some reason, the hydrometer may read water humidity properly but not the alcohol. So, I'm just forging ahead with the two sticks in there - and the current 99% humidity reading. They should be DRIPPING at a reading like that!

()()()()()Yeah, I'm thinking that might be right - hopefully. No mold, and no worms. I'm thinking I will have to dry them before putting them back in a separate humidor. Otherwise I'm liable to blow the house up - ha.
Nice...I am actually thinking about taking a CAO Brazilia and infusing it with either chocolate or coffee essential oil... I have some high quality organic essential oil from the company I work for, and some people use it to make ice cream and other food items, and it is very pure, so I am interested to see how this experiment would go.
Cank. How'd you do it? You put soem sticks in witha shotglass in a tupperware container and let them sit for a few weeks? How long exactly if you don't mind me askin?
I put the shot in a zip lock bag with cigars in it and put it in my buddies Sliding Cabinet Humidor at his Cigar Bar. They set for 2 months and then they started to come unraveled so we took them out. They were very moist so you will def. have to dry box them a few days but the flavor was GREAT !
Ive done this 3 times. 1 round was Jack Daniels Green Label, another was Brandy with some Vanilla extract and some ground up Kona Coffee, and the last was Capt Morgan and Jagermeister. All the alcohol was in 1 shot glass. Then I would put water into another all in a tupperware container and just let them sit.
