It's salt.... of sorts.

Water vapour concentration near salt solutions is lower than near just water. It's because water's in both a gas and liquid phase, but the salt molecules are only in the liquid. They dilute the water and slow the water molecules moving into the air.
Rate of return for water molecules to the liquid is related to concentration in the gas, as there's no salt ions there. This allows equilibrium with less water molecules in the atmosphere than there is near a water surface.

Nah I think Mo was right, its pixies that do it

On the other thing.... Not only is the chemical difference between the ERdM and Boli measurable with scientific equipment... much more importantly it's distinctly noticeable by the most important measuring tool in this equation... our body.

I'm not disagreeing. But I feel as we should go to the extreme to before we start picking out ERdM from Bolivars. Some Bolivar Belicoso Finos already taste like Sancho Panzas to me.
ON TOP OF THAT. BBFs are grown almost everywhere in Cuba. Pretty common cigar with some being rolled in provincial factories with amounts of faeces whilst some rolled in Partagas factories with trace amounts of pixie jizz.

I'd much rather see the conveyor belt Non-Cuban against something more standard like an ERdM Choix Supreme.

Marc, i'm so glad that you evolved from a pig to a water engineer.

A simple answer to PJ's question that I have heard previously, arises from those who ask, should they be segregating their different cigars in their humis, in case the flavours of one taint another? The retort is that if this were possible rather than just aesthetically pleasing, you could surround JLP's with Cohibas & end up with Cohiba Flav JLP's! Why the thought is that it would always cross over the more desirable way is interesting. After all with that theory, you could end up with JLP Flav Cohibas! As we know this doesn't happen.

I do think keeping cigars in their box/cab allows the maximum amount of flavour to be retained but by the time you have got down to 2-3 sticks; most people have to move them into the singles drawer to make way for the replacement boxes. And do those last few sticks taste noticeable different in 6 months? time? Probably not, what you miss is that heady moment when you stick your nose in the box & inhaling, before you take a cigar out.

This one time many years ago I got so out of it I didn't even know I was out of it. Like too out of it to know I was out of it this one time many years ago

Thank you Jeremy, perhaps if I'd misspelled it ozmosis my little joke at the beginning would have got through too. Now I know the difference between osmosis and diffusion as well.

I get it Peej.

Think you have been smokin' one of Butter's funny smokes Wigan? Or did my post sound so unintelligible?

[ValeTudoGuy]

I think it's because the formatting has repeated your post Simon.

What he said

[SmokeyDave]

Well I have no idea what is being said but I "think" it equates to :

Lets put some different tat together for a while, keep some tat separate, age for a while and then lets set em all on fire and hope for a "Hell yeah!" moment.

Yep, that just about sums it up in terms most of us can understand
