[MENTION=213]TJCoro[/MENTION] So did you ever upload it? Subtitles?...Originally posted by TJCoro View PostFunny you should ask. I did come across an old video that don
TJ made duing an interview he and his amigos did with don Jesus Lara Perez back in 2009. Unfortunately, most of it is in spanish, so I need to add subtitles before I upload it.
Regarding don TJ, he has shared a few interesting stories on this here fine forum in the past. I’ll have to dig through his journals, however, to see if I can find any worth sharing.
Thanks again for posting the video, amigo. Thouroughly enjoyable! Great stories and information. A must-see for any puro aficionado. And yes, I did watch it all the way through with the help of a most excellent H. Upman Connie.

It seems to me that 65% is best for the vast majority of CCs for smoking, however some sticks / tobacco prefer different ...
My Quintero Favoritos, R&J Cazadores and a box of BPC are still too moist to burn properly at 65. ( bloody recalcitrant Bolivar )Comment

Im at 66 to 68 in mine. Seems to do the job and things taste better than when i kept them at 70. Anything less than 65 i find is a little too dry.

62-65RH for me.... Any more and they get a bit 'wet' for me and don't draw as I like them to.
I've noticed in the last few years that cigars are coming in from suppliers over-hydrated and won't draw properly until I've let them rest for at least 6 months. It used to be that you had to let cigars rest for a year or so to overcome the so-called sick period... Now I find I have rest them for the wetness!!!

Keeping it real!

stevietheboy. Knock on wood (or Senor 
CIV’s head), my sticks arrive ready to enjoy after a week or so rest in the don’s massive unit.
As for the so-called sick period, I still prefer my puros to have at least 1 year on ‘em before I smoke ‘em. But that’s just me, no doubt.
Names Jay, Ray Jay, and I’m old school when it comes to young puros.

I have checked out William Sitwell online and really don't understand what you are getting at regarding my post.Originally posted by 7kingsguy View Post
My personal view on Relative Humidity is that if you keep it somewhere between 65% & 70% for the majority of the time, and don't exceed these limits significantly for any length of time, then the cigars will be fine. I have never worried too much about 1 or 2 percentage points RH here or there, and this is what I was alluding to in my post. I've been smoking cigars on and off since the 90's, have always stored them between 65 & 70 and have never had any real problems. Also, I would be very surprised if the humidity in the average walk-in humidor didn't vary by more than a few percentage points just between different shelves.Comment

Does anyone store at 62RH? Considering experimenting as I currently keep my sticks at 65 but notice fluctuation between 62 and 67 - I assume owing to temperature changes. Cigars all taste great and are not wet. Would coming down to 62 be beneficial or pointless?Comment
