Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

Smokes do have a tendency to "mellow" out a bit after sitting a while. Try getting some La Flor Dominicanas and see if the don't "wow" you after sitting in the humi a while. RPs are generally not strong smokes, altho ROTT they might have more bite. Most folks do prefer a mellowing out, but YMMV.

I hope your house isn't at 70% humididty- there would be a great danger of mold on all your furniture etc at that high a humidity!

I think it's very unlikely (putting it kindly) that your indoor humidity is anywhere near as high as you think, especially this time of year being in the Great Lakes region. During the summer, in a basement, after a heavy cool rain (when the A/C isn't running), maybe...and if so you should have a dehumidifier running.

IMHO, a properly calibrated hygrometer sounds like a must.
