Question on lower RH

In my experience bad flavor is often related to too hot on the burn and this is both for dry or wet cigars. Too wet and you have to draw hard to get smoke which super heats the cigar. Too dry and the cigars flames on too easily.

As for aging, I generally think temperature is the larger issue so cold will pseudo refrigerate the cigar and stop aging. Heat is similar to a curing barn so your aging the cigar. I used to store everything at 62 degrees and they didn’t age. My refrigeration unit broke so now they are around 72 degrees and you can smell more out gassing and ammonia.

My experience anyway.
