I'm going to have to assume you take the cello off...for some reason when you take the cello off the cigars seem to tighten and dry out quicker no matter what humidity you have.

Yeah, I took note--I'd say about half of my cigars still have some spring (CAO and H. Upmann at the moment), but the other half (Arturo Fuente and La Aurora) seemed a bit dry. I had a La Aurora the other night, and it did seem to burn a little fast/hotter than usual, but it wasn't cracking or splitting anywhere, so I can't complain too much. Then again, it seems that most of the Fuentes are the ones that seem dry...I split a box with a friend, so maybe that has something to do with it... And I am guilty about taking the cello wrapper off...although I just got a little 5 pack sampler of the Xikar HC series and am experimenting with leaving them on. Seeing them in all their naked glory is satisfying though!

Leaving the cello on or off is basically a personal choice. Cello offers protection to the wrappers if you like to rummage thru your sticks like I do. But if your hygrometer is accurate you are fine. I'm assuming you did a salt test on it and calibrated it if it was needed.

for some reason I find taking the cello off does something to them...the seem to shrink and get harder. But I do have to say I like seeing my cigars in the cellos...it makes it look like your in a store every time you open up your humi. But as said it seems your having trouble with the connys and Cameroons which are fragile. I'd stay away from them till the heat and humidity drop a little and you should have no problems
