to hear him explain is if the cigar itself was properly
humidified at the time of vacuum sealing the box did the
vacuuming also suck all the moisture of the cigars and the box
or just out of the air?

Out of he cigars.

Science you can [almost] do at home:

* Moisten a sponge or paper towel to the point of "pretty darned
damp."
* Put it in a bell jar.
* Pump out as much air as your little vacuum pump is capable of
pumping.
* Wait 5 minutes.
* Release the valve, letting the air back in.
* Inspect the sponge/paper-towel.

NOTE that you will find it quite dry.

I did your experiment with a Foodsaver vacuum packer. ?The unit
came with polycarbonate cannisters of various sizes for storing
bulk material. ?The lid of each cannister has a suck port and a
relief valve. ?

I moistened a paper towel with tap water and wrang it out until it
was wet but not dripping. ?It was then lightly crumpled into the
25 oz cannister (4" in diameter and 5-7/8" high). ?The vacuum pump
was attached and allowed to run on the "cannister" cycle. ?The
towel was allowed to reside in the cannister for 5 minutes post
suck, then the relief valve was pressed, the vacuum was relieved,
the lid removed, and the towel examined.

It was as wet as when it went in.

True, with a closed system as you find in the food-saver-jar, but
vacuum wraps vary a lot! Many are semi-permeable materials, some
are
not. Some systems (checked w/ my Physics prof) .... however, it is
almost impossible to suck out the excess air without sucking out a
lot
of the moisture. In fact, if the vacuum is good enough, you can
easily create (as Misc said) a freeze dried product with no
freezing. <G>....

The Foodsaver system is kinda cool for many applications, but for a
true visual, do not use the jar ... use the bag. You can suck the
life out of bread with that machine (have been there and done that).
Alex's query is more in the vacuumed out baggie than the canister -
just a bit too much suction squashes the box, presses the 'gar, and
could quickly lead to problems depending on the film used. JMHO
;-)

I do have a Physicist and a Physical Chemist who will back me up.

I need to ask the same question I asked about Misc. Why do you feel
the need to use "mary" as an ID when you're obviously a guy?

Nicky ... Mary is not a guy and she is probably old enough to possibly
be your momma but no matter what, she aint a guy. I have met her and
all I can say is ... well ... her name is Mary.

She aint like Ted at all hiding and trying to dupe those who thinks he
is a female which I think in his version of the world is considered to
be normal.
