Almost.

The idea behind dryboxing is take a cigar or two out of your humidor a day or two before you want to smoke them, then place them in an unhumidified cigar box, preferably a wooden one that is at a lower humidity than the humidor and has not seen humidity in awhile so that it the cigar can vent some excess water and the box will absorb it.

I don't like planning that far in advance for a cigar, so I just keep everything between 55% and 60% usually.
