The only thing I read about Spanish cedar fostering aging is that aged cigars acquire a woody note that some favor. But as regards proper aging, the ongoing fermentation of the organic material we call tobacco, it would seem irrelevant. Aging is inherent to tobacco, and it requires water, which is properly maintained through beads or some other humidifying agent. Aging so defined is not a function of the aromatic Spanish cedar.
Once again CA has the answers brought to me through the goodness of spirit of its members. I appreciate this very much! Mike

You're more on point with this, Mike.
Spanish cedar does not help the sticks age.
