I have tried over the years to get to the bottom of the condensation mystery. Much more often than not, my 1 hr. practice sessions and 2-3 hr. band gigs happen with no moisture problems at all. But sometimes in practice the moisture starts immediately. Within minutes it floods down the bore, as well as out from under the reed to wet the outside of the mouthpiece and barrel.
My impression is that these occasions mostly happen with a resistant reed that requires more embouchure pressure, but I think temperature and humidity conditions might also trigger this effect. The situation has improved over time as my embouchure has become more efficient, and the drastic flood of condensation rarely happens now.
