wet weather smoking

I would advise against smoking in windy weather, rainy weather. If you can move into a garage or anywhere inside. Rain can put out a cigar or even worse get it wet which well if it gets wet your going to have problems. Wind will blow it out and even make it burn very uneven. More than likely it will go out. Also if it's too humid and your cigars are use to a low RH such as 65 or 63 they can split, not burn well, or even burn too much. Some of the things I have had happen to me. If you feel the humidity is too high outside, I usually leave the cigar(s) out of the humi for an hour or two before smoking it.

Last summer, I noticed that on really humid days (like the day after a big rain) my cigar could put itself out and I'd have to smoke more quickly. Conversely, this winter, when it was warm enough to smoke outside, I noticed the cigars would burn much faster. In both cases, the quality of the burn was rather poor. I think this year I'm going to try to keep summer smokes in the 63-65% range, where in the winter, I'll bump them up to 70%

I believe in a beads post a few weeks back i suggested this idea exactly based on my own experience. 70% in summer causes burn problems, i swear it.

I notice my cigars behave differently during the summer here, because of the high humidity, but I can't say it's caused me to do anything differently.
