Just arrived yesterday. I sprang extra for "nitrogen packed" (pretty cheap) but no other humidity control was present? What's your all preferred packaging for long distance travel?
Its best to rest them in my humi for at least a "---fill in the blank please---" before sampling them "fresh". I chose these 3 because I read they were good RoTt. The box date is Nov. 12
Rule of three for me. Three weeks of rest after arrival for the sticks to get settled from the trip, three months for them to start changing taste profile, and three years for them to get tasty. Then again this is just me
