...or why I now carry my travel humi in a cooler.

I went offshore a while back and of course took plenty of sticks for the trip.

I opened up my little humi to remove my first smoke while inside an air conditioned building - No problem so far.
Later on I had a chance for a break but this time my location was more remote with no air conditioned building. I noticed the little hygrometer on my humi jump up to +95%

Well I did not pay it much mind at the time.
I then had to leave my humi in the helicopter for a while and the cabin temperature must have got up well over 100 degrees. I would guess they were like this for about three hours.

Needless to say, that evening back onshore when I was going to settle back with a nice drink and have another smoke, I got a big suprize.

The wrappers literally blew apart when I tried to smoke the cigars

Live and learn.

Now I carry my humi in a collapsible cooler with one of those blue ice blocks - problem solved.
