I can understand checking for soft spots/voids, and if it's too wet after observing that it looks too wet. If you squeezed a bunch of heads and they were too dry wouldn't you have a bunch of cracked cigars though? I know this question implies some sarcasm but I am really curious. My way is not necessarily the best or only way.
