Yes, it is personal preference if you prefer to smoke your cigars a bit on the moist side.

No, it is not personal preference due to smoking issues that arise...It's been debated before many times over and I'm sure the OP would/could have found the discussion if he tried a tad harder but I digress.

I have found that keeping my cigars closer to 70% will create tunneling issues during my burn. I have also found that my cigars tend to have a harder time staying lit.

I'm not one to argue so try it out and see if you get more or less problems smoking. I don't smoke too often so I could be wrong all over.

I agree wth Bao's assessment, 74% not only can lead to burn issues but also to the dreaded mold issues.

Me? I like 60-62%. I also have a separate desktop for NCs that I keep at 65%.
