    I mean.... maybe? When I think tobacco fermentation, my mind usually goes to a sweeter smell kinda like pipe tobacco but maybe that’s it. I want to use the word “sour” but I don’t think that’s quite it.

    I have always related tobacco fermentation with an ammonia taste of smell. I am about as far from an expert as possible, but it is my understanding cigars go through up to 4 fermentation periods with the first 2 being most prominent. Could this the odor you smell?

    Yeah, a light sort of ammonia odor sounds about right.

    Have forgotten about that smell, do remember noticing it. And think it was the fermentation You mention. However seldom sniff the cigar, just cut & smoke.
