Another warning about RH and Corojo/criollo cigars

I read one already by DPG and I just saw another about Tatuajes of the same general blending.

From the CigarEnvy interview:

"One warning here is that these cigars must be stored at a lower humiidity because of the Criollo/Corojo blend. Keep them in a humidor that is under 65% relative humidity range for at least a week to ten days before you smoke one — somewhere in the low 60% range I think is ideal for them.

If you don’t, and they have been kept at a higher humidity range of 70% before you bought them, you will have problems with them and won’t enjoy their full potential. Reports of burn issues and poor construction cropped up about these last year, and storage at improper humidity is responsible for that. That is true for any brand of cigar with this kind of tobacco in it."

I have bought cigars(DPG Generosos) of this type of blend from Famous that were stored at their typical high RH and it took forever for them to smoke right and I believe the flavor was permanently degraded.

Be warned!
