Stable conditions matter.
Temperature and relative humidity work together, and cigars need time to reach equilibrium before meaningful measurement.

What the CORESTA conditioning method tells us.
CORESTA Recommended Method No. 46 describes a controlled atmosphere for conditioning cigars before laboratory testing. It is useful evidence about moisture equilibrium—not a universal instruction for storing a personal collection.
One perfect humidor setting.
A laboratory test atmosphere is not automatically a flavor, aging, or long-term storage recommendation for every cigar.
Method evidence, clearly bounded.
We use the source to explain conditioning and equilibrium while keeping collector guidance, maker guidance, and official Habanos standards distinct.
