On my recent trip to POP, I paid full price for a nice box of La Aurora in an upscale supermarket. On opening them tonight, I found them to be what being a novice would consider them to be dry. They are not crumbling, but they are not moist either. They cut easily like dry leaves.

They smoke pretty nicely for the $3 each I paid for them, so no complaint there.

First question, is this common? Second question, do I need to preserve them in a humidor, or can I get away with a simple air tight container, with maybe an occasional moistened piece of paper towel tossed in?

Thanks for your input,
Ray
