I use the leftover sheets for spills and to line tuperdors as well as adding partial sheets to travel humidors while on the road.

A great read, and something I've always been interested in.

Thanks for the link!

So the sheets are aged at least 30 years. I wonder how long before we have to pay a premium for "anejado" sheets....

I understood they harvested trees at the 30 years old mark for sheet production. Trunks need to be a certain diameter for turning to be practical...
