Cigar smokers- plume on cigars

I have about 30-40 cigars in a desk humidor that I rarely smoke. I change the bovida packs about every 6 weeks. I use the 69 humidity ones. About half of my cigars have started eating plume on them Any of youguys have a humidor at home?

Several years ago, I had a converted wine cooler humidor at home. I had about 200-250 cigars in it, it became more of a collection to obtain, rather than to smoke. I lost interest in the constant maintenance, which really wasn't too much, but I was always afraid to lose my "investment". Slowly got rid of them all, I do miss it sometimes.
Had some very well aged sticks in there. Perhaps my palette wasn't as refined, never could tell a well aged vs. new with too much distinction.

I currently have a wineador but I honestly don't know how many sticks I have in it.
Also congrats on the plume.

No plume but use boveda as well

What color? And "eating"? Is that an accurate term?

No, it's not an accurate term.
That plume/bloom is a good sign, just watch it closely to make certain that it isn't mold.
I've lost cigars due to mold, stuff I had for years. I have a coolerdor in the bottom of my closet, and now have stuff stacked on top of it, so I don't maintain like I really should.

Never understood the boveda packs. I used to use them and two 70's would dry up in about a month, where the gel lasts for 4-5 months and still maintains humidity. I can understand using them for travel but why do people use them at home?

"maintenance free"
I use 67. 1 per 15-20 cigars.

Wipe off and smoke? Seriously, take humidor apart and wipe inside and all parts with a sterile cloth. Carefully wipe cigars and place in a zip loc baggie. I actually placed my humidor in the sun, wide open for about 6 hours or so. Calibrate humidor, refresh humidifiers and clean water. Put it back together and your good to go.
