Is this a sign I need to dry box my cigars?

I have little patience. I admit it. I have been smoking directly from my humidors for a while. No dry boxing. 
 

I had a rh spike a few weeks ago due to my error in my medium humidor of about 73. I was over watering it.  It’s back to reading 65. That’s the air of course, not the sticks. 
 

the past few cigars from that humidor have had an odd ash that I have tried to capture below. Center burns much faster than binder. Photo below is of a BRC that even spent the night rejected in my leather two cigar carry case. 
 

Assuming this is a case of a cigar not being at the same moisture content  how long do I need to let the rest of of that humidor rest?  Will dryboxing for a few days take care of issues, assuming it is an issue?

BRC still tastes great FWIW

Darker ash "in general" means higher humidity in a cigar.  Higher combustion temperatures lead to brighter ash.  You can have this demonstrated when smoking a long vitola like a double corona for example.  Take a picture of the ash in the first third and then compare it to the ash of the last third.  The first third will always be a little darker because the velocity of air coming through is slower with alot more tobacco to filter through in the beginning.  Best advice is let your humidor stabilize a couple weeks.  Until then just drybox some singles for a few days and see if there is improvement.

If you think the cigar tastes great then who cares what the ash looks like.

If they can taste better....

  It's normally a matter of months for rh thought stock to have any sense of having settled down after messing around with changes in my experience. Check back in 90+ days and things should be a lot more consistent.

  If you're still enjoying them then no reason to not carry on in the mean time

If you are getting tunneling, then by all means dry box them to see if it helps correct it. You're likely best served by just giving them a month or so to get homogenized, but dry boxing is quicker "fix". If you're like me and you tend to smoke outdoors in a humid environment, dry boxing is very helpful in getting consistent burns. But it sounds like you aren't having much in the way of combustion issues (relights, canoeing, tunneling) and are enjoying the cigars, so don't overthink it.

Take two cigars from the same box. Dry box one for 24hrs, the other for 48hrs. Smoke them and see if there is a difference.
