Never heard the 65 and small rg before. It is recommended that Cuban cigars be kept around 65% and boy are they making some jawbreakers lately. 68 very well may be the most common, I wouldn't doubt it. Don Pepin Garcia recommends that his cigars be kept at 65% or under too because he uses alot of corojo and criollo and those baccy's soak up water like a sponge. I keep all my cigars in the 60-63% range no matter the rg or where they came from and I havn't had any complaints.

This is what makes the hobby fun. Experimentation to find your perfect levels! Everything about this hobby is subjective and there are more opinions than cigars.
