Best thing I ever did for curing was throwing the Boveda packs in the garbage and drying longer before going into jars. You should notice the dank smells get louder as you dry it out. They should be right at the point of being crispy, stems should audibly snap. You’d be amazed at how much moisture bounces back after a couple weeks in the jar. Thats why you burp, more frequently at the beginning, and gradually let them go longer between burps. I consider long term storage to start when I’m like a couple weeks between burps. Then they can sit for several months without degrading.
IME Boveda packs are too moist, even the 58’s. And I dunno why but mine over time developed a nasty cigarette ashtray smell. Ditched the packs and never looked back.
