Me? I like 60-62%. I also have a separate desktop for NCs that I keep at 65%.

74% is getting real close to mold issues. It only takes 80% for mold to grow and thrive. It's a dangerous place to be, especially considering some spots can get wetter than others.
I keep a 65% for my cc's and singles and odd stuff, but the bulk of my ready to smoke stuff is at 63%.
The actual amount of water in a cigar from 60 to 65% is so tiny that it's amazing how much difference the flavor and burn can be. It's really interesting, too. And fun to mess with.
