我搜索了一下文献,发现了一篇文章,Jordan Guttormson在2017年11月更新在Cigar Dojo网站上的,《Aging Cigars to Perfection》,里面介绍了雪茄陈化科学家Santana Diaz的一种比较激进和新潮的方法,还特别提醒观众这些技巧违背主流理论,(I must warn you, before we get down to “the nitty gritty”, some of the techniques discussed in this article may go against the mainstream rationale. )
老兄看看他的说法,这里不让发链接,我只能把原文复制过来:
Most will advise cigars be kept under constant, unchanging environments, this is actually not the case when aging cigars. Remember, cigars are breathing, evolving, organic material – they benefit from change in the same way a proper Kentucky bourbon benefits from the changing Kentucky seasons – they’re alive, so to speak! An unchanging climate will essentially set your cigar into limbo, freezing its aging process.
Therefore, a proper climate for the aging cigar involves a fluctuating temperature. 65 degrees Fahrenheit is right around the sweet spot for cigar storage, and it’s where you should be for the majority of the time during cigar aging as well. But every so often (once every 2 months), we’re going to bring that temp up! The degree of change depends on the blend – the stronger the blend, the hotter and longer we’ll go. Full flavor/strength cigars should be brought up to 75 °F for 10 days (occasionally more time if using a strong enough blend). Mild-medium cigars will require less time and a lower temperature, say 70+ °F with a time of 10 days maximum. After a period of high temperature, you will need to open your humidor up for a solid 1 – 2 hours, allowing the heavy increase of ammonia to escape.Fermenting cigars thrive on these higher temperatures, similar to the environment a leaf will undergo while bundled together in the original fermenting process – it’s breaking the leaf down, melding tobaccos together, and bringing out essential oils and sugars. Unwanted ammonias and other harsh/chemical flavors are also ironed out during this stage.
在他的说法里明显可以获取以下信息,1,他无视恒温,崇尚变温,2,只在第一年这么折腾,目的是激发一个强烈的发酵,以放出氨气,3,面对最浓烈的雪茄,75华氏度(23.8度)10天;中等浓烈70,最多10天。
即使是比较激进的方法,也就在75华氏度止步了。当然,有一些来路不明的文献说最高可以到80华氏度。我个人以前从未让雪茄超过21摄氏度度。今年这疫情比较捣乱,等能回国了我抽时间按Santana的方法谨慎实验一下新进的茄,适当提高一下温度,配合排气,但我不打算超过24摄氏度。
