I'm in absolute agreement with lower rH

...but why? Haha. I've desperately searched for those stewed fruit flavors from a RASS but so far have only found "smoldering, bitter, tentpeg" notes. Half a box. But after forgetting about this cigar for a week at about 50% drybox, the second, perfect resistance draw, and it's dancing on my tongue (in the most appropriate way possible). I store at 64/65, but what a difference this is. 

But why on earth are Cubans such better performers at lower rH compared to...anything else? I'm an inquisitive guy and hate "just because" as an answer, unless it's me talking to my kids after the 11th straight follow-up question about why they can't have ice cream for breakfast. 

Long story short - RASS lovers, I finally get you.

I've gone to low 60s myself. That's just where I get the most consistent results and best draws.

Same here. I have a humidor where I store my cubans at 60%. Then I have my tupperdor at 69% where I store all my CC and NC. I find that NCs taste better and the draw is not to loose like it is at 60-62%. Why the flavor is so different at 61 and 69 I have no idea. Maybe it’s because they cure/ferment the tobacco in different ways.

Took me a while as well.  Newer production are more approachable young, but my first two boxes didn’t turn the corner until they’re were two years in my humidor.  
 

Then they were “oh, wow....”
