RH problems?

[pnoon]

You mentioned you like (prefer) 70%. If you have not had a stable 70% from which to smoke on a regular basis, how do you know you prefer 70 over 65 or 60?
I suggest getting a stable RH anywhere in the 60-70% range. Then you can make an informed decision on your preference.
Unfortunately, by ordering a new humidor you are back to square one.
Good luck.

I'm new to having sticks at home but I have had them from different places at different RH levels.

I had some at the mentioned 70% about a week ago and I really enjoyed them a lot.

So you are confident/sure the RH from which you smoked is accurate?

To your second point, "some last week" tells me yo are basing your decision on a very small sample. I would guess your enjoyment was due more to the stick itself than the RH.

Your best bet is to get the humidor stable at any RH first. Then worry about adjusting to a particular number.

Yes, It was from that java I had. I like them more moist and chewy. It seemd to smoke fine.

I will play with the rh like you say after the humidor is seasoned.

Thanks pnoon.

I did.

Then I went 65% and liked it even better.

Now I store at 61-62% and my cigars smoke wonderfully. And age wonderfully as well.
