Shedding some light on split Tatuaje wrappers

Thanks for the link. I'd seen this recommended in the past and not just for Tats. One of the first things that stands out to me is the article is several years old. I believe Pete has said that over the past two years or so, they have switched to a Habano cover leaf on the regular Brown Label line. This was done because they could not find a consistent source of Corojo that met their quality standards.

A lower RH may work best for cigars that have a large amount of Criollo/Corojo but what if you have other smokes in there as well? Right now, I only have Pepin products in my humidor but not all of them are Tats (or similarly blended smokes). After some experimentation, I've settled on 67% RH, which seems to be a happy medium, at least for me. Like others here, I also dry-box certain sticks prior to smoking them.
