I open this post with the premise that it is quite technical, so if you do not like the technicalities maybe read another topic. The basic question is as necessary to change the storage humidity, in relation to the temperature, and the type of product? It should be as low as 2 assumptions, the first is that each type of tobacco has a moisture absorption capacity and a speed of absorption that are influenced by several factors, two out of all the percentage of essential oils, aromatic compounds and other substances that limit the absorption of water, and the cell structure of the leaf (different degree of absorption occurs ess self service in fact for example between ess self service ligero, seco and volado). It must be said that the variation between the different tobaccos than the average is up 1-1.5% (weight of water / weight of tobacco) and in absolute terms but in relative terms it seems just corresponds to an increase or decrease that can reach 10% as tobacco stored ess self service in optimal conditions have on average 14% of water in them. This variation apparently ess self service risible can influence in an important way the combustion of the cigar being smoked, a higher content of water in fact increases ess self service the difference between HHV and LHV (calorific upper and lower) of the material, decreasing the combustibility of the product made of (l 'water evaporating in phase smoked subtracts energy to the brazier), or in the case of an excessive scarcity of water, making the combustion too fast for the opposite effect. The second assumption is that we need to find the optimum balance (based on taste) between Relative humidity ess self service (RH) and temperature (T) in order to maintain a unique value in our humidors, Poicë for obvious reasons, except in special cases, not We can differentiate into different zones parameters RH and T in the same humidor. ess self service There is often asked if the temperature changes should also vary the RH, or is sufficient to determine a parameter of UR unique at any temperature. Science ess self service answers this question through the Mollier diagram, developed in the 20s of last century, which identifies the relationship between absolute humidity and temperature of the air, taking into account the enthalpy. Translated ess self service in simplistic terms, the chart that I show below tells us that with the same absolute humidity (grams of water vapor on kg of air) will have a relative humidity (percentage of steam contained in the air compared to the maximum that the air can contain at a given temperature) higher as that we decrease the temperature (the 3 colored dots that I put on the graph, for example, show that with the 1% absolute humidity (10 grams of steam on kg of air) relative humidity moves from 70% to 20 degrees, to 50% at 25 degrees or from 90% to 15 degrees. then if we "move" along the curve of the relative humidity (to take esempioquella of 70%, we note as to equal RH at 25 degrees centigrade, the absolute humidity is around 1.5% (i.e. one and a half that which would have to equal RH at 20 ) it is clear that in these conditions, there is more water dissolved in the air in the form of steam and the tobacco tends to absorb more, and it is for this reason that those who always retains ess self service 70% will have in the summer cigars rather soft, and in winter cigars a little more buckets, for the same reason, the cigars stored at canons collectable (low RH and T) appear very dry to the touch, and usually must be reconditioned in the humidor at standard conditions for at least a week before they can be fully usable (for completeness it should be mentioned that the temperature varies hygroscopicity tobacco .. . but that's a separate discussion) In fact if you do not have a humidor air-conditioned, but subject to change by a few degrees in temperature between winter and summer, you have to increase the RH with decreasing temperature, or lower when it hotter, to have the cigars always under the same conditions. Taking a practical example, using the chart, if you have found your optimum storage at 20 C at 70% relative humidity, you will need to store values around 75% if you go down to 18 degrees, or vice versa if you move to 65% temperature shifts to 22 degrees.
