Input on a theory

[Old Smokey]

It seems to me if you put 5-10 of the cigars in question into a large ziplock bag with a calibrated hygrometer, in a couple of days you should know the cigars Rh.

Does anyone else remember a thread where members did this on new arrivals and posted their readings over a period of about a month? If memory serves me (highly unlikely) the cigars were not shipped nearly as wet as believed from forum banter.

Very true.

I'm sure that thread was before my time here but I'll try to find it. Sounds interesting.

To me, it doesn't seem like 99% of vendors are storing and shipping at a high rh like it seemed was common 10 years ago or so.

I've smoked plenty rott and only 1 box had issues i would attribute to being to moist.

Everything else has smoked just fine.

I friggin' LOVE cigars

I think lately with the supply chain problems, some cigars have been sitting in crates for months. I have some boxes come to me that contained, flat, dried out, crunchy humidification packs.
