Just thinking is all.  |
Good point, Scott. I was mostly thinking of drying out the cigars but you are quite correct that the referenced technique is much lower in temp that ambient in many cases. In looking at the referenced PDF, I see that the temps are quite low (below 125F). That doesn't seem very high for the possible benefit. Of course, some also use their microwave to reduce the humidity in their cigars (right man's dry box?), if I recall correctly (may have been a post way back at CS).
