What was your final IT? I've had natural casings that were just plain tuff. I also have cooked sausages and case hardened the casing. For that reason, I bring the temp up gradually.

Natural casing benefit from vinegar in the soaking water. about a TBS per cup of water, It softens them a bit and they seem a bit more translucent... (another tip while Im thinking about it Turn your casings inside out so the stringy sides are in...)

Humidity is the factor here. Not enough, and the casings dry out and get tough before the inside is cooked.

Plus after smoking you should spray down with cold water to rapid chill the sausage.

I had the same problem with smoked fish - just too much smoke. It mellowed after a month or two in the freezer.
