thanks

I asked the owners of two B&Ms that I go to about that. The response I got in my mind made sense and their response were almost identical.

The reason for the higher humidity is that the door is being opened constantly from 9am to 10pm M-Th, 8am - 12am Fr & Sat and 12p - 6p on Sun. That is a ton of people in and out, in and out, allowing the humidity to escape and temp fluctuation. Made sense to me and I have never really had but maybe two handfuls of cigars I felt were over humidified. If they were, I have a hell of a lot of other choices there.

My $0.03.

That sounds like a perfectly reasonable explanation to me. I keep my humidors at 65% but don't mind smoking something I just bought in the B&M that was stored at 70-72%

If I could get a damn hygrometer to take accurate readings I would as well. Thread forthcoming...
