I found the info. interesting in many area's. One in particular about the RH/TEMP. for aging sticks. It does make some logical sense since the aging process is really just more curing of the tobacco's which would logically need slightly elevated temps. and moisture (RH) for the process to continue.

It made sense to me, and I assumed the Oliva folks must be very certain that they have already erradicated the beetle problem. I mean think about it... would a Cigar Manufacturer of their calibre and status risk losing their reputation and SALES by having erronious information on their web page regarding the care and storage of their cigars?

I've got some Series V Maduro's coming from a double box split / trade with Pheebs. I think I will set a few aside and give them the OLIVA treatment.

It will be a while before I report back on this so, it probablly won't be much help to most members here today.
