I know this topic has been hashed around for years. The Cigar authority did a show last week where they smoked an over humidified cigar compared to an under humidified. Then they smoke a properly humidified @70%. Mr. Jonathan does an excellent explanation of how relative humidity can vary with changes in temperature. How his humidor changes RH throughout the day and so on. (as temps go down RH goes up and vica versa.)
An interesting point he made was how he toured the Padron factory where he was taken into a room of moist tobacco and the smell was of sweet honey/ raisins.(sounds familiar) Paron explained that this smell is wonderful to the novice but will taste awful and must be avoided.
If you care to listen...
