65% Heartfelt beads leave my humidor at 72%

72% is within smokeable range so not a big deal.

Are you 100% sure your humidor doesn't have a leak? It's possible that you have a couple humid days in a row, with your windows open and the humidity from outside is getting into your humidor causing the RH to climb.

No, I'm not sure at all. This could be the problem.

I don't know many folks who would agree.
72% is too wet.

I just had a similar issue with too much humidity. It caused my sticks the draw hard. It was from the Heartfelt Beads. There's another thread on this forum somewhere that talks about not fully charging their Heartfelt Beads which finally brought down the humidity. I did it slowly over 3 weeks and it worked. During that time I dry boxed a few sticks and smoked those until the humi dried out.

I try to only charge 1/2-3/4 of the beads making sure I still have white (dry) beads to allow them to absorb excess humidity. That's the whole point of the beads. Make sure you don't charge 100% of your beads or you won't be able to even out an over humidified humidor.
