First Rolls

@ChinaVoodoo, you need days in your climate.

I use the white bags I get tobacco in from WLT to case binder and wrapper, for more than 24 hours, and that's after I pull them out of my 70% rh + humidor. Filler doesn't need much if anything, but again they're stored at 70%.

It does work. You've seen my sticks.

Most don't get their wrapper or binder humid enough for long enough, including me when I started.

I've been spraying them and storing them in a WLT bag for 24 hours and it works pretty good, but it does get discoloured if I'm impatient and spray too much.

Maybe I can put them on the radiator?

Or if you have a seeding heat mat throw that under it. I'm planning on doing one like @webmost video, in a cooler, but modifying it with an aquarium heater in the reservoir to get the rh up quick.

I think you're right. I poured hot water in before leaving home. I think it started working right away.

Verdict. (bull crap). My way of gradually spritzing the underside of the leaves works just fine. The conditioning container needs heat anyways, and they still come out discoloured.



Edit: I'm not even going to photograph these things. Good thing they are going to taste good.

If you're still getting discoloration, I'd suggest the cause is spritzing down too much and too fast without shaking all the water off before bagging up. Watch them do it in the factories/factory vids: they have a continuous spray going with vigorous shaking down after, and that's in their climate. I need a couple of days here in the winter to get wrapper right, and your climate is drier than mine.
