I was thinking the same thing.
It might be CLASSIFIED AS TOP SECRET, due to the Competition if you want to call it that.

A few members have moisture meters...

Yes they do and I think one of them is going down to the basement in a few minutes and measuring it....

Rh (moisture in the air in the bag) will change depending on the ambient temperature. I think the number you're looking for is moisture content in the leaf. Cigar filler is packaged in low/low case to medium/low case or about 12% - 15% moisture in the leaf. Binder, wrapper and most cigarette tobaccos are packaged at 15% -18% moisture content.

Pretty much what I measured with some Lemon Flue cured. I took 6 measurements and they ranged from 12 to 16%. My bag had been previously opened and resealed.
