Humidity?

doctorcue · 10-14-2008, 10:03 PM

Between 65%-70%. I don't sweat it that much. As long as the cigars stay tasty... all that matters!

cort · 10-14-2008, 10:11 PM

I prefer 65%. I find that cigars smoke best at this humidity

madurolover · 10-14-2008, 10:32 PM

63% - 65%

SvilleKid · 10-14-2008, 10:53 PM

Well, I usually don't fixate on it as much as some do!! As a rule, mine stays pretty much between 60 and 65% with minimal effort on my part, so i just leave it alone unless it falls into the 50's. Usually doesn't take much to get it back in range.

Beads are wonderful things!

theonlybear4CORT · 10-14-2008, 11:08 PM

65% here + or -

Coz77 · 10-15-2008, 06:33 AM

62-65% Never had a problem.

I heart beads!

Clampdown · 10-15-2008, 06:38 AM

65% and holding strong in the cooler. My desktop is around 63%

stevieray · 10-15-2008, 06:40 AM

Low 60's seems to work best for me. I shoot for 61-64ish.

bobarian · 10-15-2008, 02:32 PM

Whatever the beads keep them at. I trust chemistry more than I trust these figidity

hygrometers.

Rabidsquirrel · 10-15-2008, 02:37 PM

I working on getting mine below 70%. I have 65% beads now, and I'm loving the change in the cigars. I think the last straw was the occasional jumps above 73% humidity.

skibumdc · 10-15-2008, 03:04 PM

65% and 66-67* so far this summer.
Vinotemp with cedar shelves and trays plus 2lbs of beads certainly help.
Have a separate fan inside on a timer to help circulate air and keep it constant throughout.

Solid as a rock so far.

MajorCaptSilly · 10-15-2008, 06:35 PM

65% is perfect for me.

groogs · 10-15-2008, 06:47 PM

I try to keep my humis between 60-65%.

gettysburgfreak · 10-15-2008, 08:12 PM

I like 68% in my humi, my cooler is around 70%

10-15-2008, 08:15 PM

My humi was at 72rh 3 hrs ago. I installled some of Scott's 65rh beads and bam now at 67rh. I expect I'll be hanging at 65 soon.

10-15-2008, 08:29 PM

70 for long term, I keep 5 or so in a box at 63. Temp is pretty consistant at 68

FriskyDingo · 10-16-2008, 11:44 AM

I keep my cabinet and coffee table humidor between 65-68% RH.

Mark C · 10-16-2008, 11:59 AM

65% here. I could swear I bought 70% beads but they hold quite well at 65. Go figure.

10-18-2008, 04:38 PM

I usually have mine at 70% but I just got some beads that will make it drop to 65%...either way it will be something new. I will learn whether I like it or not. If not I will just fix the beads

schnell987 · 10-18-2008, 07:35 PM

Coolerdor (long term) @ 70% and humidor at 67% - both with Cigar Oasis units so I don't have to worry about them when I travel.
