When you place infused cigars together with "regular" sticks after period of several months some of the oils may transfer, but it is much more noticeable because they had no flavors to begin with.
With regards to the first point, many of us prefer our humidity between 60-65%. Also, no hygrometer is 100% accurate, even scientific instruments have a variance of 2-4%. |
Thanks for the reply. I haven't smoked many infused sticks in the past 4-5 months so these have been sitting for a bit but I plan to pick up the pace soon.
As far as the hygrometer, I'm just curious if isolating a cigar in a small ziplock bag with a hygrometer will gauge it's "health?" I try to keep my actual humidors close to 65% normally. I wasn't showing concern but rather if this method is used for anything? I assume that if a cigar is properly humidified, it should give off enough humidity to display a reading within typical range.

Everything in the aging rooms is sans cello and, and as such, I don't know how significantly cello might retard the transfer of flavors between two dissimilar infused or flavored cigars.

Interesting to know, thanks
