OK. I dry boxed a few GH 2002 until they lost their sheen. Much better burn. Thanks guys!
In my experience this is what dry boxing is good for - drying an oily wrapper enough so it burns better. Not for drying out the whole over-humidified cigar, I prefer doing that slowly over time in my humi.
Last 2 cigars I have dry boxed has worked wonders. JDN DC and a Cubao maduro. Both had been giving me fits. 2 days for the JDN and it actually smoked like a real cigar. 1 day on the Cubao it was perfect. Most cigars I know I dont need to dry box but some like these 2 I will from now on. Also my humi is always 65/66 rh.
I usually smoke on Wed nights and try to have an idea of 10 gars I would want to choose between, so I put those in a cedar box for 1-2 days before hand and dry them out to help with the burn(assuming I remember)...especially if you favor the PA or maddy wrappers they tend to burn rather slow when they are oily...I dry box them naked
