Yes. Personal preference, really, but you'll find less draw issues at a lower humidity.

Ditto what NCRadioMan says. Although personally, I keep my cigars closer to 59%-61% than 63%.

It takes a LOT of smoking to figure this out!

And, as RadioMan said, Cameroon is a b*tch. I have a separate humidor completely JUST for those.

I like to use 70% beads...they keep at just about 68% at 70 degrees.
