Popular Post stunod Posted August 4, 2015 Popular Post Posted August 4, 2015 I need to know for myself if there is a difference in taste in different sticks at different humidity levels so I chose 4 of my favorite cigars, all from the same box, all PSP or HQ. I am going to let them sit until the end of the summer. I will report back. Yes I was bored at work today. It's good when your the boss. 7
HarveyBoulevard Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Cool experiment. I will be interested to hear the outcome. I bet you do notice a difference in flavor, quality of burn, etc. Especially between 62 and 69. Jeff

CigarEnthusiast Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 You might want to put those in air tight containers to stabilize the environment's RH 1
klassikkasp Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Very cool, I definitely will be following this thread.
JohnS Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Just guessing the cigars in order from left to right... 1) Romeo y Julieta Wide Churchill 2) Bolivar Royal Corona 3) Montecristo Petit Edmundo (Of course, one of your absolute favourite cigars...I've got to pick up some myself!) 4) Partagas 8-9-8.

planetary Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Excellent experiment. Look forward to hearing the results.
hoffmr3 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Can you blind the test somehow? This would be critical. 1
dicko Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Can you blind the test somehow? Great thread and good idea. Stunod perhaps you could get a friend/family member to tape over the numbers and put A-C or 1-3?
stunod Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 Good idea. I can blind taste. I will have my buddy tag them so I wont know but he will.
stunod Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 This would be critical. I agree. I also think I have to smoke three of the same in a row. For example if I start with the Monte PE, smoke them before I move on to the Wide Churchills. 1
JohnS Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I agree. I also think I have to smoke three of the same in a row. For example if I start with the Monte PE, smoke them before I move on to the Wide Churchills. Definitely...comparing notes with the same cigar is a good idea!
Mycroft Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 How about this for an idea : A live video review with a bunch of people doing the same blind test.
Mycroft Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 What temperature will the cigars be stored at Stunrod?
camshaft8301 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I think this is the best idea I have heard of to test different rh levels effect on cigars. Very interested to see the outcome. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
soutso Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Excellent thread. I would suggest keeping them in close proximity to one another so that they are in the same temperature zone. Whilst taste is subjective I predict you'll like them in the order of 62RH, 65RH,69RH but that also assumes that each stick is of similar characteristics to it's counterpart in the other bags. Sadly you can never know this but don't let it deter you.
Scrubber Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Not sure if you posted in another thread but did you end up following through with the tasting? How did it go? I'm very interested. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
JohnS Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I'm second-guessing stunod here, but he probably is giving the cigars at least 30 days in their different set-ups before reporting back. Personally, I feel there would be no harm to wait up to 60 days even, but 30 should suffice for this experiment you'd think. 1
Scrubber Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Sorry yes I am guessing you are right. I am used to using forums with the dates written American style. I thought this was posted back in June and not August. My bad. Looking forward to the results in due course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Personally, I feel there would be no harm to wait up to 60 days even, but 30 should suffice for this experiment you'd think. I recently purchased some aged 08 HDM Eps 2 tubos, I took them out of the tubos and it sat my humidor at 67 RH for about 2.5 weeks. My friends and I 3 of them last night, it was smooth but spicy (I couldn't resist trying). I should have left it rest for another 3-4 weeks...but sometimes our desires get the better of us 1
