63%, and try to keep my house temperature below 70* in the summer.

[poker]

66% when possible. I need a Vinotemp.

[floydp]

63% to 65% most the time. Slightly lower in the colder months.

[SteveDMatt]

I used to be a 70% guy. Now I hover around 63%.

[elderboy02]

I have 65% beads in all my humis and my cooler.

[mikeyj23]

68%(ish) and whatever the house is at - cooler stays around 73.

[chippewastud79]

Cabinet sits at 64% on top and 61% on the bottom +/- 2%. :tu

[Darrell]

65%, I'm putting together an aging cooler this weekend, it will sit at 70%.

[Sean9689]

62%

[yourchoice]

End table is in the basement. Seems to hover between 62-67% and 65-69*. No complaints.

[Mugen910]

Just under 70 about 68 but I'm thinking it's too high since the last few ISOMs didn't burn well! :(

[markem]

64.44672% on even days and 64.44673% on odd days.

[weak_link]

My beads are 65% but it's so dry where I live the three desktops are usually between 60-65 and the vino stays where it should be. I guess I need another vino.

[av8tor152d]

65% 65 deg in the 2 vinos ...those thing multiply if left unattended ya know

[ahc4353]

I used to be a 70 guy until I found you guys. Now it's 65 and I love it that way. :ss

[lightning9191]

I'm on the 65% Heartfelt wagon.

[The Professor]

I keep the coolers between 63% and 65%. I keep the desktop closer to 60%. :tu

[doctorcue]

Between 65%-70%. I don't sweat it that much. As long as the cigars stay tasty... all that matters!

[cort]

I prefer 65%. I find that cigars smoke best at this humidity:)

[madurolover]

63% - 65% :tu

[SvilleKid]

Well, I usually don't fixate on it as much as some do!! As a rule, mine stays pretty much between 60 and 65% with minimal effort on my part, so i just leave it alone unless it falls into the 50's. Usually doesn't take much to get it back in range.

Beads are wonderful things!

[theonlybear4CORT]

65% here + or -

[Coz77]

62-65% Never had a problem.

I heart beads!

[Clampdown]

65% and holding strong in the cooler. My desktop is around 63%

[stevieray]

Low 60's seems to work best for me. I shoot for 61-64ish.

[wij2]

64.44672% on even days and 64.44673% on odd days.

:tpd: You must use one of Bob's "Set and Forget" also.

[TideRoll]

I'm almost always around 63% in my largest box, the smaller ones are generally 65%.

[tsolomon]

I have 65% beads, so I'll go with 65%. ;)

[kfish]

I keep mine around 67%.

Kfish

[leasingthisspace]

I use the 65% in my cooler and the cooler for the Thursday night crew.

[kaisersozei]

Desktop is somewhere between 62-64% at 70*. Since switching to lower RH beads, I haven't had to drybox unless I pull from my cooler (which is at a rock solid 69/69.)

Ambient humidity in the house runs 54-60% in the summer. Gonna have to watch things in the winter, when it drops to below 25%.

[Seanohue]

65% and 70F

Still not sure what to do with my cello though.....

[bobarian]

Whatever the beads keep them at. I trust chemistry more than I trust these figidity :confused:hygrometers.

[Rabidsquirrel]

I working on getting mine below 70%. I have 65% beads now, and I'm loving the change in the cigars. I think the last straw was the occasional jumps above 73% humidity.

[skibumdc]

65% and 66-67* so far this summer.
Vinotemp with cedar shelves and trays plus 2lbs of beads certainly help.
Have a separate fan inside on a timer to help circulate air and keep it constant throughout.

Solid as a rock so far.

[BamBam]

65%

[Smokin Gator]

The Vino is at 65% and my desktop is about 60%. I am acquiring another Vino and that one will be at 70% for aging. Not that I know... just following the lead.

[barbourjay]

65% and i still dry box some cigars.

[acruce]

64% to 67%

[dannyboy]

65% beads in mine so the RH remains rock solid day in and day out, temp is a constant worry for me though, as there is no AC where I live and temps range in the uper 70s and 80s most days. No problems yet though and my sticks all smoke great.:ss

[Footbag]

My cabinet is between 63 and 65.

[Beer Doctor]

I keep my cooler at 70 for aging. I only smoke directly out of my desktop which has 70% beads but stays 63-67 in fall/spring/winter. Will need to get a tube of 65 beads for next summer.

[ucla695]

I keep mine between 62-65% RH. If they are a little too moist for my liking, I'll dry box for a day ot two.

[NCRadioMan]

60 to 63% for me. The house stays below 70 degrees year round.

[The Dakotan]

So, is it a problem if I keep mine at 80% and 80degrees? :ss

I keep everything at 65% That's the beauty of beads.

[MNSmoker]

I keep the Vino at 65% and 65*.

Thanks Shilala for the awesome beads. Those HCM beads are incredible.

[dunng]

65% humidity... :ss

[D_A]

My coolers typically run about 63-64.

[MajorCaptSilly]

65% is perfect for me.

MCS

[groogs]

I try to keep my humis between 60-65%.

[gettysburgfreak]

I like 68% in my humi, my cooler is around 70%

[GWags]

My humi was at 72rh 3 hrs ago. I installled some of Scott's 65rh beads and bam now at 67rh. I expect I'll be hanging at 65 soon.

[darb85]

70 for long term, I keep 5 or so in a box at 63. Temp is pretty consistant at 68

[FriskyDingo]

I keep my cabinet and coffee table humidor between 65-68% RH.

[Mark C]

65% here. I could swear I bought 70% beads but they hold quite well at 65. Go figure.

[AdamC]

I usually have mine at 70% but I just got some beads that will make it drop to 65%...either way it will be something new. I will learn whether I like it or not. If not I will just fix the beads

[schnell987]

Coolerdor (long term) @ 70% and humidor at 67% - both with Cigar Oasis units so I don't have to worry about them when I travel.

[Buckeye Jack]

Set and Forget comes on at 63% and takes it to 65%, so somewhere between that :ss

[TomHagen]

I would love to attain constant 67%/67 degrees....

[AriesOpusX]

65% I kept mine at 70% for years but found my cigars smoke much better at 65%.
