I have a question. I have 65 RH boveda packs in my humidor now, but my cigars are having problems staying lit, every 10 or so minutes I'm having to relight my stick , should I go with the 72RH packs or are beads better? would rising the RH solve this problem of having to relight my sticks

    Typically they would burn too fast if dry. Do you have any other humidification in there?

    Going higher would compound the issue

    Do you have a hygrometer in there?  Boveda packs are great, but I would not depend on the number on the pack.

    If you can, take your smoke out of the humi and leave  it where you plan on smoking for 30-60 minutes.  Helps to aclimate

    Dry box them and see if that helps, certain brands smoke better when dry boxed.

    How often are you drawing on them?  Could just be your smoking pace is to slow.

    About a minute between draws

    Sometimes a minute between draws is just right. Sometimes it ain't. 
    It's tricky sometimes if the stick doesn't fit my draw style. If the stick requires more draws, I give it more draws. But, If that creates a hotter burn and a harsh taste, it gets tossed. And sometimes it's rolled too tight for me to manage a slow, dying burn. I toss it. 

    One more question.

    Which make and model sticks in particular, are you having problems with?

    Some are notorious for this exact problem. Alec Bradley Prensados (if I recall correctly,) are bad about this.
