I'm very puzzled and concerned, my only theory that I have is maybe the fans got stuck on and dried out the cigars. I even tried a cigar that was in a factory box in my humidor that had a flavor loss (espinosa murcielago)
There is an environmental factor at play somewhere. Even if your fans had stopped the boveda would have kept your cigars humidified. You just need to figure out what is different. Something is.
Your looking to much into this. Sometimes it's medication or food intake. Sometimes it's the cigar. Sometimes it is what it is. Dont worry about it.

The only reason I don't think it's me is because my friend dropped off a cigar and I can actually smell it. I'm going to smoke it later but if I can actually taste it (its a Connecticut) vs the 5 darker wrappers I've had this week then it has to be something with my humidor.
I have them that are several years old and are fine.
If nothing has changed with your humidor it’s you. Like @Usaf06 said, don’t worry about it. Take a break from them for a few days and come back to them.
I find that cigars which are overhumidified have muted tastes.

Tell you what. How about you send me your cigars and I'll smoke them and tell you if it's them or if it's you. I won't charge you anything.

Unplug the cord, problem solved. I’ve used thermo fridges and had similar problems also, compounded by beads (before Boveda days). Others may have had different experiences but I can only speak to my experiences. I sold off my thermoelectric fridges and switched to Iris weathertight bins and 65% bovedas and never looked back and never have any issues, even with very well aged cigars.

When you experienced this issue did your cigars bounce back in terms of taste and smell?
Expanding on the aging of cigars, one of my favorite cigars, BLTC Bishops Blend, is an annual release and I prefer to be smoking previous years cigars and resting / aging the current release for as long as possible. Cigars get old after decades, not years.
I would try dry boxing some of your cigars before smoking them to see if the flavor returns after you've equalized them a bit.

I like your taste in cigars. I hope you figure this out.
Food and drink is tasting fine, I'm pretty active so I make sure I'm hydrated regularly.

What if the fans did the opposite and kept going for a prolonged period of time and potentially dried out the oils?
Go get a covid test
Did they feel dry? Were they brittle? Were your boveda packs dried out? If not…then that’s not it.

Are the Boveda packs hard or are they still “squishy”
How long have they been in your humidor?
Less plump then they used to be but still squishy. Their pretty old at 9-12months.
I have them that are several years old and are fine.

I like to rest new cigars for months, a year is fine.

It's has to be my humidor, just smoked through a connecticut from my friends humidor and bam I can taste again.
