Do the leaves need to be humidified? Will it be bad if they're in a tub with boveda?Either a bookshelf or a spare tub.
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Here's the thing: humidity is relative, right?Do the leaves need to be humidified? Will it be bad if they're in a tub with boveda?
Relative humidity is relative. I don't know what you're getting at.Here's the thing: humidity is relative, right?
I’ve been watching for an answer to your question also. I’m not sure on how to store mine either.Relative humidity is relative. I don't know what you're getting at.
Thanks!Answers will vary. Some live in a climate that is perfect humidity, some have climates too dry, maybe some have it too damp. I store mine in the bags and boxes they came in, bags taped shut. If the need added moisture to roll without crumbling, I'll spritz the leaves I'm using (not the whole pound) and let the moisture distribute. Webmost has a really cool setup with a rack in a cooler to humidify leaves without spritzing when he needs too.
It depends on your house humidity so there is no single right answer on how to store them.
What Jim said. Where I live it's always 70rh, so I have to do nothing. But "do nothing" might not apply to you if you don't live in a constant 70rh.Relative humidity is relative. I don't know what you're getting at.
So leaves should be kept at 70%. You could've just said that.What Jim said. Where I live it's always 70rh, so I have to do nothing. But "do nothing" might not apply to you if you don't live in a constant 70rh.
Lol they do not have to be stored at any specific rH. Don't waste your bovedas, you'll just be inviting mold!So leaves should be kept at 70%. You could've just said that.
So I've fallen in love with this video. Your voice and manner of speaking, terms, phrasing etc make me feel so confident that I can do this. When I opened the package and saw how much stuff was in there, and how big it all was, I was quite intimidated. No way I could do this, I thought. But you just calmed me right down. I can't wait to give it a shot! I also want you to be my grandfather. And I want to use your method of instruction to teach my child everything. I'm feeling so inspired right now! Thanks a ton!Bump this thread for Merry Christmas time.
I'm looking for a lurker on this BOTL forum who may want to try rolling their own for the first time. Someone who has been hanging round wondering, but who hasn't taken a leap at it. I will send you a kit for Christmas. I'll throw in filler, binder, and wrapper, along with some cigar glue. You rummage round the kitchen and dig up a breadboard or some such to work on, and an ulu or pizza cutter to cut your leaves with. Anyone here will gladly contribute how to advice and links to videos. All you have to do is try it out ... roll your own ... and then post some pics of your resultant sticks.
Who's up for a hobby?
Here's a link to a vid I made specifically for the raw beginner. It may not be THE WAY to torque a gar, but it is guaranteed to be A WAY that any rank fumblefingers can pop out a stick he can smoke and be proud of.
Who wants to give it a shot?
Oh, I forgot a couple questions. Concerning mold, are you spritzing the leaf/rolling station with distilled water? What about the humidifier that's running? Those things can incubate mold as well. How do you avoid mold with so much moisture?Bump this thread for Merry Christmas time.
