Thanks to @Gray4lines for his dry box recommendation. I put some sticks in a cedar box overnight to help with my humidification issues. Happy to report I’ve got a great smoke out of this Lunatic stick with perfect burn and zero humidification issues. So far so good!
It was good while it lasted. Made it about half way through and it went out. They start out not feeling squishy at all but them turn that way after getting halfway through. Gotta be the FL humidity. It’s 100 degrees and probably equal to that in RH. Oh well. I’ll have to let the stick drop RH even more before smoking- or just buy small smaller sticks. LOL.

Always hard to tell whats causing the issue... no doubt heat and humidity contribute. Keep your pace of smoking slow. If you havent heard how to do a "purge" and relight try looking that up (nothing fancy just a quick puff out as you relight to expel the stale air... Ive had good luck with that).
If they start getting squishy or hot, set it down, let it go out and cool off then try a relight. That would be my advice!
Every time I see LFD in the store, I think yeah okay, but it's Dominican and I don't like the price. Every time I smoke an LFD, I think to myself, why the hell don't I have more of these?
My first time with this brand, but it's outstanding about 15 minutes into it. Thanks Orlando @cigarexplorer
And I dug those shorts out of the hamper just for the mangy mutt....

4 years sober on Saturday. I had 12 hour work days then and Sunday but today I’m celebrating in style. For those of you who might have thought I was being ridiculous when I gave @Patrickbrick what I gave him when he won my contest, here’s an example of why. This is a Zino Platinum Z-Crown Stout, just randomly given away to me for no reason whatsoever. One of many examples of him doing something like that. No better day than today to smoke it.
Congrats Calvin, I'll drink one in your honor tonight.

Not sure what you are keeping your Rh at, but with 65 % Bovedas in my humidor, tupperdors. And small cooler my sticks no longer get squishy.
With A/C running 24/7 down here the issue is too low humidity not too high.

Congrats, Calvin! You are almost out of the woods.
Smoking an Aladino Cameroon Lonsdale in your honor.
^ Congrats on the four years.....Can't be easy.
This heat is wearing me out......I want just one sweat free day.
Our heat and humidity is breaking today... just opened up every stinkin' window in the house.
Congrats Calvin!
down to 88 outside, 84 inside, we have a small ac in the bedroom and I am willing to put up with the noise.
Congratulations Calvin!🎉
I’ll find something to smoke that you sent me to celebrate your accomplishment!
Enjoy my friend, keep it up one day at a time.

Congrats Calvin, addiction is no joke.
Just felt like smoking a yard gar, since I have so many of them. Mild with a little spice.
