    The size area recommendation seems to be large humi for that size but, whats nice is that they are two way humidification. It makes most sense to me to use them on finished cigars. I like the more hands on approach of doing it by feel giving that there are variant needs in preparing leaf.

    So what would you use to keep your leaves moist if you have no room in a humidor?

    The 8 gram packs come 10 to a pack and I wondered about using 2-3 in a 1/4-1/2 lb bag and 4 in a pound.

    Leaves out of the bag get sorted and misted directly on planks of wood 14 by 33 in.

    Most fillers don't need further ammonia aeration so, the idea is to get the wrinkles out and brought down to a storage case which is maybe a little dry for rolling. the whole lot will get stacked and put into 2.5 gal zip-locks and then into kitchen bags until I'll go to use it. these bags go in huge tubs. I will keep checking to make sure the case stays right.

    Rolling prep I use 9.4 L tubs. I'll spray the inside to maintain humidity.
    Its all by feel.

    I must admit I'm at a bit of a loss concerning most of that.
