Just that slight drop really changed the flavors

I like my cigars drier than the 65% I try to keep my wineador at. I have an order in with Ed for a custom humidor set up for Boveda... I might keep it stocked with 62s the entire time and make it my box for go-to "ready to smoke" sticks.

Plus I'm pretty much all full in my wineador as is!

You'll Love Ed's Custom Humis!

I've Had Mine For Around 5 Years. Keeps Humidity 62-65 With 65% Boveda Packs I Change Every 3 Months.

I try to keep my sticks between 60-65 and just love them that way. Enjoy!

Mike - How did you do that? More beads?

I use gel jars, removed some.

shilala · 03-25-2015, 09:11 AM

I hear ya, Mike. I keep mine at 62. If I could keep my cc's down around 58, I think I'd like that better. That's too low for the nc's, so I try to keep it happy midland.

G G · 03-25-2015, 09:21 AM

Well then if I ever get my fridge to level out, I believe I will try adjusting the HCM beads to 62 myself.

Sadden · 03-25-2015, 01:41 PM

And last fall I just went up from 65 to 68. Been purring there happily for some time now.

AdamJoshua · 03-25-2015, 02:17 PM

I keep mine at 62.5 .. because I'm a douche and I can.

I used to keep them around 68 and just didn't work out for me not to mention that sometimes it was harder to keep them lit and we all know you should never relight a cigar, I don't know if keeping them lit was an issue because of the humidity but overall I'm much happier with them in the 62.5 range.

czerbe · 03-25-2015, 03:27 PM

62-65 is my sweet spot

Chainsaw13 · 03-25-2015, 03:33 PM

I dropped the soap once. Once...

stearns · 03-25-2015, 03:40 PM

Haven't had a working hygrometer in years, but I'm probably around that same low 60s. I also don't plug the drain hole. Everything smokes and tastes excellent

Brlesq · 03-25-2015, 03:51 PM

Ditto. 62% seems optimum. 60% on the island cigars

kgoings · 03-25-2015, 03:58 PM

58 to 60
