This info is fantastic. I recently realized I need to control my temp to avoid RH swings and to have a consistent smoking experience. I have a few questions:
1) What is the ideal moisture content (MC) for Cuban tobacco (seems like this is not well documented)?
- It appears that the answer will be related to a few variables a) What is the ideal MC for aging? b) what MC do I prefer?
- Does anyone have a feel for this so I can pick the temp / RH range to maintain my collection?
2) Is there an instrument to measure moisture content in cigars non-destructively?
- I would like to measure MC to find out what I prefer the most.
- I have found some inexpensive instruments to measure MC in wood. Perhaps these will work. Suggestions?
Ever since this study has been posted, all the plume left my cigars. I used to have samples, I think I smoked them all
Has anyone validated/verified plume yet? The "glod fleck" pics from Grower1 look convincing.
