MoneyCollector, the number one cause of mold is high humidity. What percentage do you keep in your humidor(s)?

In warmer climates two things happen:
1. Warmer air plus high humidity is asking for mold.
2. Your gauge might indicate 70% humidity but due to warmer air, it might actually be higher than that.

Safe humidor humidity numbers are 65% to 68% while keeping it cool in there!
