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

poker 10-11-2008 12:03 AM

66% when possible. I need a Vinotemp.

floydp 10-11-2008 10:22 AM

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Re: Humidity?
 
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.

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

I'm on the 65% Heartfelt wagon.

The Professor 10-14-2008 09:56 PM

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

doctorcue 10-14-2008 10:03 PM

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

cort 10-14-2008 10:11 PM

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

madurolover 10-14-2008 10:32 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
63% - 65% :tu

SvilleKid 10-14-2008 10:53 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
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 10-14-2008 11:08 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
65% here + or -

Coz77 10-15-2008 06:33 AM

Re: Humidity?
 
62-65% Never had a problem.

I heart beads!

Clampdown 10-15-2008 06:38 AM

Re: Humidity?
 
65% and holding strong in the cooler. My desktop is around 63%

stevieray 10-15-2008 06:40 AM

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

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

tsolomon 10-15-2008 08:47 AM

Re: Humidity?
 
I have 65% beads, so I'll go with 65%. ;)

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

kaisersozei 10-15-2008 01:02 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
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 10-15-2008 01:39 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
65% and 70F

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

bobarian 10-15-2008 02:32 PM

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

Rabidsquirrel 10-15-2008 02:37 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
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 10-15-2008 03:04 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
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.

65%

Smokin Gator 10-15-2008 03:09 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
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 10-15-2008 03:23 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
65% and i still dry box some cigars.

acruce 10-15-2008 03:28 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
64% to 67%

dannyboy 10-15-2008 03:37 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
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 10-15-2008 03:39 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
My cabinet is between 63 and 65.

Beer Doctor 10-15-2008 03:45 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
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 10-15-2008 05:07 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
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 10-15-2008 05:08 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
60 to 63% for me. The house stays below 70 degrees year round.

The Dakotan 10-15-2008 05:08 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
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 10-15-2008 06:17 PM

Re: Humidity?
 
I keep the Vino at 65% and 65*.

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

My coolers typically run about 63-64.

Re: Humidity?
 
65% is perfect for me.
